PREFACE. 


I  have  no  apology  to  make  for  the  present  work,  any  more  than 
the  ship-builder  who  has  launched  two  crafts  successfully  and  is 
about  to  launch  a  third,  more  complete,  with  heavier  timbers  and  a 
finer  finish  than  the  last  two.  I  hope  that  the  reader  will  observe 
and  examine  the  solid  part  as  well  as  the  fancy  touches,  remem- 
bering that  happiness  is  like  a  pair  of  scissors  with  a  fine  rivet — 
man  and  woman — the  rivet  the  conditions,  positive  and  negative — 
the  rivet  the  phenomena,  tragedies  and  comedies — the  rivet  the 
person  who  acts  the  part,  solid  and  light — the  rivet  the  genius  to 
read  the  "  measure  of  all  things."  So,  dear  reader,  we  find  all 
kinds  of  rivets,  as  well  as  loose  screws  ;  but  they  can  be  fixed  by 

cultivation.

MAGNETISM  THE  LIFE  PRINCIPLE 


AND 


Hygiene  the  Promoter  of  Health, 


WITH  A  PHRENOLOGICAL  CHART. 


Magnetism  the  Life  Principle. 


The  aroma  or  the  fragrant  quality  of  the  violets  is  a  good  illus- 
tration of  the  science  I  wish  to  elucidate.  Every  man  and  woman 
has  his  or  her  aura  that  flows  from  their  bodies ;  all  have  their 
peculiar  quality  of  magnetism.  It  may  be  said  with  truth  that 
magnetism  is  the  philosopher's  stone.  The  quality  of  magnetism 
— there  are  as  many  different  qualities  of  magnetism  as  there  are 
men  and  women.  "  Man  is  the  measure  of  all  things." 

1st.  There  is  a  reciprocal  influence  (action  and  reaction)  be- 
tween the  planets,  the  earth,  and  animated  nature. 

2d.  The  means  of  operating  this  action  is  a  most  fine,  subtle 
fluid,  which  penetrates  everything,  and  is  capable  of  receiving  and 
communicating  all  kinds  of  motions  and  impressions. 

3d.  This  fluid  exercises  an  immediate  action  on  the  nerves,  with 
which  it  embodies  itself,  and  produces  in  the  human  body  phenom- 

2 


10  MAGNETISM    AND    HYGIENE. 

ena  similar  to  those  of  the  loadstone ;  that  is,  polarity  and  inclina- 
tion. 

4th.  This  fluid  flows  with  the  greatest  rapidity  from  body  to 
body,  acts  at  a  distance,  is  reflected  by  the  mirror  like  light,  and 
is  strengthened  and  propagated  by  sound. 

5th.  There  are  animated  bodies  which  exercise  an  action  directly 
opposite  to  animal  magnetism.  Their  presence  alone  is  capable  of 
destroying  the  effect  of  magnetism. 

6th.  By  means  of  animal  magnetism,  we  can  effect  an  immedi- 
ate cure  of  nervous  diseases,  and  a  mediate  cure  of  other  disor- 
ders ;  indeed,  it  explains  the  action  of  medicaments,  and  operates 
the  crisis. 

7th.  The  physician  can  discover  by  magnetism  the  nature  of  the 
most  complicated  diseases. 

Many  somnambulists  speak  of  a  shining  atmosphere  that  is  per- 
ceptible about  the  magnetizer  and  themselves ;  several  see  sparks, 
streams  of  light,  or  flames  issuing,  especially  from  the  fingers,  but 
also  from  the  hair,  eyes,  and  palms  of  the  hands.  • 

"  His  life  was  gentle  ;  and  the  elements 
So  mixed  in  him  that  Nature  might  stand  up, 
And  say  to  all  the  world  :  '  This  was  a  man.'  " 

From  a  well-balanced  organization,  with  the  organic  quality  very 
good,  vigorous  health,  and  the  temperaments  well  blended,  and 
large,  active  moral  faculties  —  the  magnetism  that  flows  from  such 
an  organization  has  more  potent  virtues  than  the  most  excellent 
fancy  can  set  forth. 

0,  what  is  there  on  earth  more  exquisite  than  the  thrilling 
touch  of  an  honest  hand !  Every  part  of  a  person  emits  a  special 
magnetism  of  its  own,  which  appeals  to  the  same  part  of  another 
person,  on  the  grand  principle  of  analogical  harmony.  The  halo 
that  is  around  honest  and  refined  persons  is  dazzling,  and  far  more 
exquisite  than  sunlight.  The  eyes,  the  lips,  and  the  hands  are 
powerful  magnetic  poles. 

"  Look  in  mine  eye-balls — there  thy  beauty  lies ; 
Then  why  not  lips  on  lips,  since  eyes  in  eyes  ?  " 

The  eyes — who  has  not  felt  the  sacred  fire  from  the  windows  of 
the  soul  ? — 0,  what  potency  for  good  or  ill !  And  the  lips,  the 


MAGNETISM.  11 

ruby  lips — and  the  magical  music  that  flows  from  them — and  the 
first  touch,  when  all  the  deeper  sense  is  kindled  up  ;  ^nethinks  it 
would  require  a  muse  of  love  to  picture  forth  the  sacred  entertain- 
ment of  the  first  affectionate  kiss — the  kiss  that  first  awakens 
those  strange  emotions — and  in  the  ecstasy  of  the  moment  the  soul 
seems  to  pass  into  unspeakable  delights,  all  nature  seems  anew,  the 
violets  are  more  fragrant,  and  the  roses  have  a  richer  hue\  Oh, 
the  lily- — how  fair  and  delicate.  See  that  grand  old  oak  and  its 
branches  nodding  to  the  sparkling  stream,  grateful  to  the  wander- 
ing river  for  its  cool,  refreshing  draught. 

0,  what  a  charm  there  is  in  magnetism ;  before  the  touch  of  the 
sacred  fire  the  world  was  cold  and  dull ;  now  all  is  life,  and  for  a 
purpose. 

"  Thou  canst  not  see  one  wrinkle  in  my  brow, 

Mine  eyes  are  gray  and  bright,  and  quick  in  turning  ; 

My  beauty  as  the  spring  doth  yearly  grow  ; 

My  flesh  is  soft  and  plump,  my  marrow  burning  ; 

My  smooth  moist  hand,  were  it  with  thy  hand  felt, 

Would  in  thy  palm  dissolve  or  seem  to  melt." 

Magnetism  is  love's  chariot ;  love  gives  off  fine  magnetism — the 
magnetism  that  banishes  all  sorrow,  destroys,  all  care,  animates  the 
soul  into  new  hopes,  and  soothes  the  weary  heart  into  peaceful  rest. 

The  human  brain,  with  its  vapors,  fluids,  ethers,  essences,  fibers, 
convolutions,  membranes,  corpus  collosum,  medulla  oblongata, 
ganglions,  and  the  gray  and  white  nerve-matter — the  element 
called  phosphorus  makes  gray  nerve-matter,  and  the  gray  nerve- 
matter  of  the  brain  is  the  laboratory  in  which  thought  is  evolved. 
Magnetism  is  the  vehicle  that  carries  our  thoughts  to  all  parts  of  the 
globe.  We  can  all  send  messages  to  those  who  love  us,  or  whose 
magnetism  blends  with  ours.  Many  wonderful  stories  could  be 
unfolded  about  mental  telegraphy,  but  it  is  better  for  every  one  to 
experiment  for  themselves. 

No  one  has  yet  been  able  to  analyze  or  demonstrate  the  essential 
action  of  perfume.  Gas  can  be  weighed,  but  not  scents.  The 
smallest  known  creatures — the  very  monads  of  life — can  be  caught 
by  a  microscope  lens  and  made  to  deliver  up  the  secrets  of  their 
organization ;  but  what  it  is  that  emanates  from  the  pouch  of  the 
musk-deer,  that  fills  a  whole  space  for  years  and  years  with  its  pen- 


12  MAGNETISM  AND  HYGIENE. 

etrating  odor — an  odor  that  an  illimitable  number  of  extraneous 
substances  Jan  carry  on  without  diminishing  its  size  and  weight — 
and  what  it  is  that  the  warm  summer  air  brings  to  us  from  the 
flowers,  no  man  has  yet  been  able  to  determine.  So  fine,  so  subtle, 
so  imponderable,  it  has  eluded  both  our  most  delicate  weights  and 
measures  and  our  strongest  senses.  If  we  come  to  the  essence  of 
each  odor,  we  should  have  made  an  enormous  stride  forward,  both 
in  hygiene  and  in  chemistry ;  and  none  would  profit  more  than  the 
medical  profession,  if  it  could  be  as  conclusively  demonstrated 
that  such  an  odor  proceeded  from  such  and  such  a  cause,  as  we  al- 
ready know  of  sulphur,  sulphurate  hydrogen,  ammonia,  and  the  like. 
"  If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things,  and  ye  believe  not,  how  shall 
ye  believe  if  I  tell  you  of  heavenly  things  ?" 

GENERAL  PRINCIPLES  FOR  MAGNETIZING. 

The  magnetizer  must  be  in  good  health,  or  the  patient  will  suffer. 
The  magnetizer  must  have  very  large  moral  faculties,  or  the  pa- 
tient's moral  character  will  suffer. 

Ask  for  moral  strength.  There  is  a  continual  flow  of  the  Cre- 
ator's Spirit  from  the  unseen  universe  ;  so  when  we  comply  with 
the  conditions  we  receive  spiritual  gifts — time  or  place  will  not  in- 
terfere. On  the  altar  or  on  the  scaffold — in  the  prison  or  in  the 
palace — reefing  the  sails  or  anchored  in  the  peaceful  bay — of 
Psyche-aura  there  is  a  perpetual  flow. 

First  condition :  Let  the  patient  be  in  an  easy  position,  taking 
hold  of  both  hands  ;  think  of  Jesus  Christ  for  five  minutes,  grad- 
ually become  positive,  and  by  virtue  of  the  will-power  send  your 
magnetism  through  the  nervous  system  of  the  patient. 

Second  condition  or  state:  Press  your  thumb  with  moderate 
force  upon  the  ulnar  nerve,  which  spreads  its  branches  to  the  ring 
and  little  finger  of  the  hand ;  lay  the  ball  of  the  thumb  flat  and 
partially  crosswise,  so  as  to  cover  the  minute  branches  of  these 
nerves  of  motion  and  sensation.  If  you  have  magnetic  or  fiery 
hands,  do  not  touch  the  front  head,  for  it  will  sometimes  cause  con- 
gestion of  the  brain ;  rub  the  back  head  and  down  the  back  of  the 
neck,  this  is  sufficient  to  remove  pain.  Remember,  magnetism  is 
dangerous  and  potent. 


MAGNETISM.  13 

Third  condition :  Ask  the  subject  if  the  sensation  is  pleasant  or 
disagreeable :  if  disagreeable,  stop ;  you  are  not  adapted  for  that 
person  :  be  not  jealous,  but  try  another. 

You  have  to  be  obedient  to  the  law  of  harmony,  and  study  the 
temperaments ;  if  the  sensation  is  agreeable  take  the  subject  by  the 
hand  with  the  palm  upward,  place  the  ball  of  the  thumb  on  the 
median  nerve,  and  the  thumb  of  your  left  hand  on  the  organ  of 
individuality.  Say,  Please  close  your  eyes  firmly  ;  then  in  two 
minutes  say,  You  cannot  open  your  eyes;  if  so,  you  have  the 
subject  under  your  will ;  if  you  are  afraid,  experiment  no  more  for 
the  present.  The  operator  must  have  wisdom  as  well  as  a  good 
moral  character ;  if  you  are  not  timid,  proceed  with  the  third 
degree. 

Wave  the  tips  of  the  fingers  of  both  hands  over  the  eye-lids, 
then  lift  the  hands  to  the  convolutions  of  caution,  bring  them  down 
to  the  organ  of  order,  then  pass  the  hands  outward  over  the 
shoulders  and  down  the  back  until  you  reach  the  hips ;  be  careful 
that  the  hands  are  apart  when  you  bring  the  hands  up  to  the  head, 
or  you  will  undo  what  you  have  done ;  make  seven  downward 
passes  to  put  the  subject  into  a  magnetic  sleep.  To  awaken,  make 
the  passes  upward  at  the  same  time.  Say,  Please  awake,  in  a 
gentle  voice,  but  with  a  firmness  that  will  penetrate  the  grave ; 
you  have  now  got  the  first  three  plans  through  which  individuals 
may  be  brought  into  the  negative  state,  and  the  subtle  medium  of 
communication  '  through  which  they  may  be  controlled  by  mental 
impressions. 

Fourth  state  or  condition  :  Balmy  sleep  is  tired  Nature's  kind  re- 
storer. The  facility  with  which  these  states  can  be  produced  de- 
pends entirely  on  the  susceptibility  of  the  subject.  As  all  who 
are  familiar  with  the  philosophy  of  dreams  know,  they  are  not  con- 
trolled by  time  or  space.  Hundreds  of  cases  are  recorded  where 
persons  have  dreamed  the  events  of  years  in  a  few  seconds.  In- 
deed, the  dream-faculty  seems  sometimes  to  possess  a  miraculous 
retroactive  effect.  There  is  a  case  on  record  of  a  gentleman  who 
was  awakened  by  the  report  of  a  pistol-shot.  In  the  instant  be- 
fore awaking  he  dreamed  that  he  had  enlisted  in  the  army ;  had 
been  sent  out  to  India  with  his  regiment ;  had  been  ill  treated  by 
his  superior  officer ;  had  deserted ;  had  been  captured  and  sen- 


14  MAGNETISM   AND    HYGIENE. 

tenced  to  be  shot ;  had  suffered ;  and  that  was  the  identical  shot 
which  awakened  him.  The  story  of  the  Sultan,  also,  is  well  known, 
who  put  his  head  into  a  basin  of  magic  water,  withdrew  it  imme- 
diately, and  in  that  brief  space  he  lived  seven  years  of  life.  He 
had  fought  battles,  had  been  dethroned,  and  was  about  to  be  be- 
headed. Marvelous  as  this  seems,  yet  it  is  a  simple  statement  of 
a  fact,  that  time  and  space  are  conditions  of  the  waking  conscious- 
ness, and  in  no  way  affect  the  state  of  dreaming. 

By  the  employment  of  proper  physiological  methods,  all  the 
splendid  dreams  of  Coleridge  in  "  Kubla  Khan,"  and  of  De- 
Quincey  in  the  "  Opium  Eater,"  can  be  induced  without  any  loss 
of  nervous  power,  or  any  of  those  exhaustive  effects  which  follow  the 
use  of  alcoholic  or  narcotic  stimuli. 

It  is  said  that  modern  science  has  destroyed  the  belief  in  the 
immortality  of  the  soul ;  but  the  science  of  the  soul  or  psychology 
is  restoring  it  by  the  phenomena  of  magnetism.  The  soul  has  as 
many  faculties  and  organs  as  the  physical  body ;  but  the  spiritual 
and  the  physical  organs  are  finely  entwined  by  the  Creator's  hand. 

"  There  is  a  natural  body  and  there  is  a  spiritual  body."  In 
the  normal  state  there  is  a  perfect  equilibrium  of  the  physical  arid 
spiritual  faculties ;  and  so  wondrous  is  the  Omnipotent  skill,  that  we 
are  lost  in  admiration.  Man  and  woman  possess  both  an  internal 
and  an  external  memory.  In  the  normal,  wakeful  condition  these 
memories  act  as  one. 

Reader,  you  are  now  ready  to  hear  of  transfer  of  feeling,  or  the 
fourth  degree,  which  has  the  appearance  of  coma,  or  profound 
sleep. 

Insensibility  to  pain. — This  only  occurs  when  the  magnetic  coma 
is  fully  established,  and  most  of  the  external  senses,  together  with 
the  proper  consciousness  of  external  objects,  are  rendered  dormant, 
and  the  internal  memory  is  called  forth,  without  the  guidance  of 
reason  or  the  will.  In  this  state  the  patient  can  feel  what  is  done 
to  the  operator.  This  condition  of  the  phenomena  is  about  the 
simplest  of  its  displays.  By  a  single  touch,  the  mouth  of  the  pa- 
tient may  be  closed  so  instantaneously  as  to  leave  a  word  half  pro- 
nounced, and,  by  a  pass,  as  speedily  set  at  liberty.  Even  the 
nostrils  may  by  a  single  pinch  be  partially  closed,  so  as  instantly  to 
produce  the  nasal  twang,  and  by  a  wave  of  the  hand  be  restored. 


MAGNETISM.  15 

Fifth  degree. — It  is  reasonable  to  think  that  the  Creator  has 
given  to  every  department  of  his  "  handiwork  "  a  specific  charac- 
ter, and  that  from  the  Creator  to  the  lowest  inert  matter  there 
exists  a  chain  of  degrees,  and  that  each  object  of  creation  can 
only  be  well  and  truly  studied  by  observing  it  in  its  own  degree, 
and  by  comparing  it  with  objects  in  another  degree.  But  if  we 
confound  this  distinction  of  degrees,  we  shall  never  arrive  at  a 
clear  and  satisfactory  solution  of  many  important  facts. 

Each  degree  will  be  found  to  have  laws  or  properties  peculiar 
to  itself ;  and  if  we  transcend  the  degree  of  the  object  of  our  in- 
quiry, by  applying  to  it  qualities  or  properties  belonging  to  another 
distinct  degree,  we  may  expect  nothing  but  confusion  and  mystery. 

Now,  in  our  investigation  of  the  nature  of  man,  it  is  especially 
necessary  not  to  overlook  these  distinctions.  Philosophy  teaches 
that  if  spirit  in  no  degree  is  material — that  is,  does  not  possess 
those  properties  which  we  apply  to  ponderable  matter — still  it 
is  no  less  on  that  account  a  truly  real  and  substantial  existence. 
More  truly  substantial  than  the  granite  rock,  because  more  endur- 
ing. 

"  The  soul,  the  mother  of  deep  fears,  of  high  hopes  infinite  ; 
Of  glorious  dreams,  mysterious  tears,  of  sleepless  inner  sight." 

Mrs.  Hemans. 

The  soul  that  is  eternal  with  the  Deity  has  a  spiritual  body  to 
manifest  its  self  hood  by.  The  soul  never  had  a  beginning,  nor 
ever  will  have  an  end ;  and,  when  free,  has  nothing  in  common 
with  time,  space,  or  matter.  The  soul's  attributes  are  love,  truth, 
wisdom,  memory,  and  desire,  with  social  affections.  The  soul's 
delights  are  the  realms  of  science,  philosophy,  literature,  art, 
drama,  and  music.  These  are  some  of  the  soul's  qualities  and 
pleasures  that  have  come  under  our  observation.  Therefore,  it  is 
only  the  body  that  goes  to  hell,  not  the  soul. 

"  Of  the  soul  the  body  form  doth  take, 
For  soul  is  form,  and  doth  the  body  make." — Spenser. 

Or  when  the  organs  of  the  brain  are  diseased,  and  the  soul  cannot 
get  free,  0  student,  it  is  by  Desire-Psyche,  or  Soul- Will,  that  the 
operator  can  influence  the  soul  of  the  subject  and  the  spiritual 
faculties  of  the  patient.  The  student  must  be  well  versed  in 


16  MAGNETISM   AND   HYGIENE. 

physiology.  No  operator,  unless  a  physician,  should  attempt 
the  fifth  degree ;  for  by  the  fifth  degree  the  operator  can  send  the 
patient  to  any  place,  or  rather  the  patient's  soul-faculties  to  any 
region  of  the  globe.  In  this  state,  or  degree,  the  patient  will  give 
accurate  descriptions  of  things  in  the  next  house,  or  turn  the 
patient's  faculties,  while  in  the  fifth  degree  of  this  cerebral  lucidity, 
to  the  internal  diseases  of  persons,  and  so  may  receive  a  diagnosis 
far  more  accurate  than  the  ordinary  mode  of  research.  This  is 
some  of  the  good  the  operator  and  the  patient  can  do,  and  is  the 
most  lawful  use  of  the  fifth  degree.  Dear  reader,  remember  there 
is  a  wheel  within  a  wheel  and  a  power  above  a  power,  and  if  you 
give  way  to  amorous  desires  you  will,  in  a  degree,  lose  your  power, 
and  you  may  close  up  the  gates  of  the  soul. 

Sixth  and  seventh  degrees :  There  are  many  reasons  for  not  giv- 
ing in  writing  the  last  two  degrees.  Things  that  are  hard  to  find 
have  deepest  worth.  God  grant  that  you  may  be  worthy  to  receive 
the  seventh  degree.  Paul  knew  of  the  sixth  degree :  "  And  the 
evil  spirit  answered  and  said :  Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I  know, 
but  who  are  ye  ?"  Now  in  the  language  of  the  good  John  Bunyan, 
who  tells  us  that  "  King  Shaddai,  in  the  sixth  day  of  the  year  one, 
built  in  the  country  of  Universe  a  fair  and  delicate  town,  called 
Mansoul,  and  endowed  it  with  corporate  privileges — a  town,  for 
building  so  curious,  for  situation  so  advantageous,  that  there  was 
not  its  equal  on  the  face  of  the  whole  world ;  yea,  it  was  so  goodly, 
when  first  built,  that  the  gods,  at  the  setting  up  of  it,  came  down  to 
sing  for  joy.  It  was  so  mighty  as  to  have  dominion  over  all  the 
country  round  about  it ;  for  all  were  required  to  acknowledge  it 
for  their  metropolitan,  and  do  it  homage.  It  had  commission  and 
power  from  the  king  to  demand  service  of  all,  and  also  to  subdue 
those  who  in  any  way  opposed  it. 

"  There  were  certain  gates  in  Mansoul  by  which  access  could  be 
gained  to  the  celestial  country  round  about  it,  and  communion 
held  with  the  messengers  who  were  constantly  coming  and  going 
from  the  court  of  Shaddai. 

"  The  inhabitants  took  full  advantage  of  all  their  glorious  privi- 
leges, and  conversed  with  the  gods  freely,  so  that  all  the  time  they 
continued  under  the  dominion  of  its  builder  nothing  but  sounds  of 
joy  and  praise  were  heard ;  but  when,  as  is  well  known,  they  re-

belled  against  his  government,  and  swore  allegiance  to  Diabolus, 
his  enemy,  a  dreadful  change  came  over  them  ;  and  among  the 
other  enjoyments  of  which  they  were  bereft,  the  gates  were  closed 
that  opened  to  the  celestial  country,  and  no  communication  through 
them,  unless  under  extraordinary  circumstances,  ever  allowed.  As 
the  gates  became  disused  they  were  gradually  forgotten  by  the 
many,  and  for  thousands  of  years  all  remembrance  of  them  lost." 

Thank  God,  the  gates  are  opening,  and  psychology,  the  science 
of  the  soul,  will  soon  have  them  wide  open ;  and  magnetism,  the 
soul's  Sunday  clothes  (always  new  and  in  fashion).  As  the  mag- 
netism is  used  so  is  the  soul's  happiness ;  remember,  dear  reader, 
the  "  Gates  Ajar,"  and  you  can  open  them  by  magnetism,  the 
life-principle. 

We  all  love  truth,  but  will  we  find  it  by  running  after  mediums, 
especially  of  low  grade  ? 

We  have  the  physical  sciences  to  help  us  to  investigate  the  great 
problem  of  life ;  therefore  we  should  work  out  our  own  individual- 
ity in  that  truthful,  earnest,  and  reasonable  state  of  mind  that 
makes  the  genuine  philosopher.  When  our  moral  atmosphere  is 
peaceful,  pure,  serious,  and  serene,  the  mind  is  continually  led  by 
gentle  and  rational  influence,  elevating  it  from  earth  and  pointing  it 
toward  happiness  and  truth.

18  MAGNETISM   AND   HYGIENE. 

Nutritious  diet,  exercise,  rest,  and  water  pure  ; 
Practice  this  method,  then  health  is  sure. 
Sunlight  and  fresh  air,  with  Nature's  courses, 
Develop  the  Mental,  Motive,  and  Vital  forces. 

Truly,  remedial  agents  are  materials  and  influences  which  have 
normal  relations  to  the  vital  organs,  and  not  drugs,  or  poisons,  whose 
relations  are  abnormal  and  anti-vital. 

Nature's  materia  medica  consists  of  air,  light,  temperature,  elec- 
tricity, magnetism,  exercise,  rest,  food,  drink,  bathing,  sleep,  cloth- 
ing, passional  influences,  and  mechanical  or  surgical  appliances. 

The  true  healing  art  consists  in  supplying  the  living  system  with 
whatever  of  the  above  it  can  use  under  the  circumstances,  and  not 
in  the  administration  of  poisons,  which  it  must  resist  and  expel. 

Drug  remedies  are  themselves  causes  of  diseases.  If  they  cure 
one  disease  it  is  only  by  producing  a  drug  disease.  Every  dose 
diminishes  the  vitality  of  the  patient. 

Drugopathy  endeavors  to  restore  health  by  administering  the 
poisons  which  produce  disease. 

Hygeio-Therapy,  (erroneously  called  "  Hydropathy,"  or  "  Wa- 
ter-Cure ")  on  the  contrary,  restores  the  sick  to  health  by  means 
which  preserve  health  in  well  persons. 

Diseases  are  caused  by  obstructions,  the  obstructing  materials 
being  poisons,  or  impurities  of  some  kind. 

The  hygienic  system  removes  these  obstructions,  and  leaves  the 
body  sound. 

Drug  medicines  add  to  the  causes  of  obstructions,  and  change 
acute  into  chronic  diseases. 

To  attempt  to  cure  disease  by  adding  to  the  cause  of  disease  is 
irrational  and  absurd. 

Hygienic  medication,  (Hygeio-Therapy)  is  not  a  "  one-ideaism" 
which  professes  to  cure  all  diseases  with  "  water  alone."  Nor  is  it 
a  "  cold  water-cure,"  as  is  erroneously  believed  by  many.  It 
adopts  all  remedial  appliances  in  existence,  with  the  single  excep- 
tion of  poisons. 

SPECIAL   NOTICES. 

True  knowledge  of  healing  will  do  away  with  drugs  altogether. 
Never  take  any  medicine — the  stomach  revolts  at  it ;  nature 


HYGIENE.  19 

teaches  that  it  never  should  be  used ;  it  never  cures  diseases  of 
body  or  mind. 

Avoid  all  patent  medicines ;  they  answer  the  purpose  only  for 
which  they  are  made,  viz.,  to  make  money  and  deceive,  but  they 
never  cure  any  one. 

If  it  was  ever  intended  by  the  Creator  for  mortals  to  take  med- 
icines, it  would  be  incorporated  in  our  food ;  and  it  is  so,  all  that 
is  ever  required. 

Never  put  cold  water  on  weak  or  diseased  eyes. 

Cold  water  should  never  be  used  on  the  head  ;  but  hot  for  all  dis- 
eases of  the  head  or  brain. 

Wearing  garters  makes  cold  feet  and  crippled  limbs. 

Never  sleep  or  sit  with  the  hands  up  to  the  head ;  it  will  cause 
heart  disease,  consumption,  liver  complaint,  dyspepsia,  etc. 

Magnetism — the  life-principle — may  be  imparted  from  one  to 
another,  and  is  the  only  power  to  heal  the  sick. 

Never  tamper  with  your  eyes  or  ears. 

Nitrate  of  silver,  or  any  other  drug,  cannot  be  used  on  the  eyes 
without  injury. 

Never  use  or  take  opiates  or  other  anodynes.  . 

Sorrow,  grief,  fear,  or  any  extraordinary  emotion,  will  cause  dis- 
ease ;  so,  to  be  well,  be  cheerful,  and  wear  a  pleasant  countenance. 

Never  sufier  torture  from  a  professed  physician's  bleeding,  cau- 
terizing, cupping,  plasters,  or  the  use  of  liniments,  calomel,  nux 
vomica,  arsenic,  or  any  other  drugs  or  poisons  that  a  well  person 
could  not  take  without  serious  injury.  All  such  practice  and  pre- 
tended science  is  empiricism,  quackery,  and  deception,  and  an  in- 
sult to  reason  and  common  sense. 

The  eyes,  the  special  sense  of  sight  and  expression,  are  the  most 
complicated  organs  of  the  soul.  There  is  a  nerve  of  sensation  and 
a  nerve  of  motion  from  every  dual  convolution  or  phrenological 
organ  of  the  brain  that  connects  with  the  eyes.  The  retina— a 
membrane  that  receives  the  impression  of  lignt,  and  transmits  it  to 
the  brain  through  the  optic  nerve.  The  iris — a  membrane  that  gives 
color  to  the  eye.  Gray  irises  have  the  nerves  from  the  cerebrum 
more  active  than  from  the  cerebellum.  The  crystalline  humor  is  a 
white,  transparent,  firm,  convex  lens — the  refracting  medium  of  the 
eye.  The  cornea — a  membrane  of  transparent  substance  which 


20  MAGNETISM  AND  HYGIENE. 

forms  the  front  part  of  the  ball  of  the  eye.  The  pupil — the  open- 
ing in  the  iris  through  which  the  rays  of  light  pass  to  the  retina. 
The  vitreous  humor — filling  the  body  of  the  eye  with  all  its  fine 
arteries,  nerves,  and  muscles.  There  are  better  eyes  on  this 
planet  to-day  than  in  the  past  ages  of  the  world's  history. 

Science  gives  interesting  details  how  in  ancient  times  the  human 
eye  was  constituted,  and  how  it  will  be  perfected  in  the  future. 
The  "  Indian  Ideas  " — the  oldest  written  records — testify  that  in 
most  ancient  but  yet  most  historical  times  only  two  colors  were 
known,  black  and  red.  After  the  lapse  of  many  centuries,  the 
eye  arrived  at  a  state  of  greater  perfection,  and  was  able  to  recog- 
nize yellow ;  but  a  much  longer  period  passed  away  before  green 
could  be  recognized. 

The  ancient  Greeks  possessed  a  far  better  developed  sense  for 
distinguishing  colors  ;  and  yet  it  is  proved  that  the  Grecian  paint- 
ers, at  the  time  of  Alexander,  only  knew  the  fundamental  colors, 
white,  black,  red,  and  yellow.  They  had  no  names  for  blue  and 
purple,  and  called  these  two  colors  gray  and  black.  The  various 
colors  of  the  rainbow  were  only  slowly  recognized,  and  even  the 
great  Aristotle  could  only  distinguish  four  colors  of  the  same. 

It  is  well  known  that  if  the  color-prism  be  photographed,  there 
is  seen  on  the  plate,  behind  blue  and  purple,  yet  another  impres- 
sion of  a  color,  which  color,  however,  we  cannot  yet  recognize.  It 
is  more  than  probable  that  a  time  will  arrive  when  the  more  perfect 
human  eye  will  distinguish  this  color  also. 

HYGIENIC  MEDICATION  FOE,  THE  EYES. 

Tepid  rain-water  for  weak  or  diseased  eyes :  do  not  put  cold 
water  on  sore  eyes,  but  hot  water  for  weak  or  diseased  eyes. 
Please  not  to  go  out  into  the  cold  atmosphere  after  bathing  the 
eyes.  Cold  water  will  do  for  healthy  eyes. 

THE   LIGHT   OF   THE   SUN,  AND  ITS  INFLUENCE  ON  THE  EYES 

AND  BRAIN. 

Dr.  Ponza,  director  of  the  lunatic  asylum  at  Alessandria,  (Pied- 
mont) having  conceived  the  idea  that  the  solar  rays  might  have 


HYGIENE.  21 

some  curative  power  in  diseases  of  the  brain,  communicated  his 
views  to  Father  Secchi  of  Rome,  who  replied  in  the  following 
terms  :   "  The  idea  of  studying  the  disturbed  state  of  lunatics  in 
connection  with  magnetic  perturbations,  and  with  the  colored,  es- 
pecially violet,  light  of  the  sun,  is  of  remarkable  importance,  and 
I  consider  it  worth  being  cultivated."    Such  light  is  easily  obtained 
by  filtering  the.  solar  rays  through  a  glass  of  that  color.    "Violet," 
adds  Father  Secchi,  "  has  something  melancholy  and  depressive 
about  it,  which,   physiologically,  causes  low   spirits ;   hence,   no 
doubt,  poets  have  draped  melancholy  in  violet  garments.     Perhaps 
violet   light   may   calm   the   nervous   excitement   of    unfortunate 
maniacs."     He  then,  in  his  letter,  advises  Dr.  Ponza  to  perform 
his  experiments  in  rooms  the  walls  of  which  are  painted  of  the 
same  color  as  the  glass  panes  of  the  windows,  which  should  be  as 
numerous  as  possible,  in  order  to  favor  the  action  of  solar  light,  so 
that  it  may  be  admissible  at  any  hour  of  the  day.     The  patients 
should  pass  the  night  in  rooms  oriented  to  the  east  and  to  the  south, 
and  painted  and  glazed  as  above.     Dr.  Ponza,  following  the  in- 
structions of  the  learned  Jesuit,  prepared  several  rooms  in  the 
manner  described,  and  kept  several  patients  there  under  observa- 
tion.    One  of  them,  affected  with  morbid  taciturnity,  became  gay 
and  affable  after  three  hours'  stay  in  a  red  chamber.     Another,  a 
maniac  who  refused  all  food,  asked  for  some  breakfast  after  having 
stayed  twenty-four  hours  in  the  same  red  chamber.    In  a  blue  one, 
a  highly  excited  madman,  with  a  strait  waistcoat  on,  was  kept  all 
day ;  an  hour  after,  he  appeared  much  calmer.    The  action  of  blue 
light  is  very  intense  on  the  optic  nerve,  and  seems  to  cause  a  sort 
of  oppression.     A  patient  was  made  to  pass  the  night  in  a  violet 
chamber ;  on  the  following  day  he  begged  Dr.  Ponza  to  send  him 
home,  because  he  felt  himself  cured  ;  and,  indeed,  he  has  been 
well  ever  since.     Dr.  Ponza's  conclusions  from  his  experiments  are 
these  :  "  The  violet  rays  are,  of  all  others,  those  that  possess  the 
most  intense  electro-chemical  power ;  the  red  light  is  also  very 
rich  in  calorific  rays ;  blue  light,  on  the  contrary,  is  quite  devoid 
of  them,  as  well  as  of   chemical  and  electric  ones.     Its  bene- 
ficial influence  is  hard  to  explain,  as  it  is  the  absolute  negation  of 
all  excitement ;  it  succeeds  admirably  in  calming  the  furious  ex- 
citement of  maniacs." 


MAGNETISM    AND    HYGIENE. 

Now  remember,  if  you  have  to  go  out  into  the  cold  air,  after 
bathing  the  eyes  in  tepid  water,  dash  a  little  cold  water  over  them 
and  dry  well. 

The  eclectic  in  therapeutics,  which  takes  the  highest  and  best 
from  all  Nature's  laboratory,  water,  as  well  as  magnetism,  has  good 
healing  power ;  water  constitutes  not  only  the  greater  portion  of 
the  human  body,  but  is  the  medium  of  circulation,  nutrition,  ex- 
cretion, and  purification,  and  bears  with  it  a  large  amount  of  elec- 
tricity. Hot  water  alone  would  relax  and  weaken.  Cold  water 
is  the  element  of  stimulus,  and  the  system  may  be  gradually  toned 
up  with  so  much  internal  heat  as  to  endure  a  large  amount  of  cold 
water.  All  should  bathe  more  or  less  to  keep  clean,  but  those  who 
are  pale,  thin,  and  nervous  must  not  bathe  too  frequently,  as 
the  water  will  be  apt  to  conduct  away  some  of  their  vitality,  and 
will  not  give  them  the  magnetic  element  which  they  most  need ; 
such  persons  may  take  the  light  Cleopatra's  bath. 

The  time  to  bathe  is  three  hours  after  breakfast,  or  about  eleven 
in  the  forenoon.  A  full  bath  should  never  be  taken  after  eating, 
not  until  three  hours  after  the  last  meal,  after  copious  drinking  of 
wine  or  first  sleep,  then  a  Cleopatra  bath. 

A  cool  bath  is  much  better  on  rising  in  the  morning  than  when 
retiring,  as  it  is  easier  to  get  up  a  reaction  when  the  system  is  fresh. 
Avoid  bathing  when  very  weary.  No  baths  during  menstruation. 
A  bath  for  God's  poor:  on  getting  up  in  the  morning,  wet  the 
hands  in  a  little  water,  rub  the  wet  hands  over  the  whole  body  a 
few  seconds,  then  wipe  quick  with  a  coarse  towel,  then  stand  in  the 
sunshine  if  you  can  for  five  minutes,  move  the  right  hand  from 
right  to  left  on  the  bowels  while  standing  in  the  sun.  It  will  not 
cure  a  broken  heart,  but 'it  might.  Flannel  cloths  dipped  in  hot 
water  and  wrung  nearly  dry  in  another  cloth,  then  placed  quickly 
on  the  lower  abdomen  and  left  there  for  fifteen  minutes,  will 
soothe  painful  menstruation,  colic,  etc.  For  the  poor  only — the 
rich  persons  can  buy.  "  Throw  physic  to  the  dogs,  I'll  none  of  it." 
Come,  give  me  the  Cleopatra's  bath. 

You  may  talk  about  the  serenity  of  heaven ;  you  may  descant 
upon  the  ecstatic  pleasures  of  the  antique  Elysium  ;  you  may  revel 
in  a  bed  of  roses,  or  inhale  the  sweet  fragrance  of  violets  ;  you 
may  luxuriate  on  a  bed  of  velvety  down,  with  lilliputian  elfins

meandering  over  your  body  and  tickling  each  particular  pore  with 
a  celestial  feather ;  you  may  bask  upon  a  bed  of  hyacinths,  and 
drink  in  the  perennial  fragrance  of  millions  of  surrounding  daffodils  ; 
you  may  dream  of  an  entrancing  existence  among  the  stalactites 
of  a  naiad's  cave,  with  beautiful  sprites  to  guess  your  every  wish, 
and  myriads  of  golden-haired  mermaids  anointing  your  body  with 
the  myrrh  of  delight,  while  chubby-faced  dolls  perpetually  fan  you 
with  musk  leaves  and  squirt  unctuous  nectars  into  your  iniquitous 
system  from  thousands  of  golden  flasks ;  you  may  sport  in  the  sun- 
shine of  accumulating  wealth  ;  you  may  rejoice  in  the  possession 
of  a  doting  wife  without  the  usual  mother-in-law ;  you  may  have  a 
bevy  of  vaccinated  children ;  you  may  have  cousins  in  heaven,  and 
uncles  in  San  Andreas  ;  you  may  have  no  creditors ;  you  may  have 
none  other  than  dividend-paying  stock  ;  you  may  have  never  gone 
to  law,  or  paid  a  lawyer's  fee  ;  in  short,  you  may  be  existing  in  an 
atmosphere  of  perpetual  bliss.  But  what — what,  I  may  be  per- 
mitted to  vehemently  breathe — what  are  all  these  to  the  exquisite, 
enchanting,  beatific,  transporting,  ecstatic,  luxurious,  luscious,  be- 
witching, enravishing,  rapturous,  seraphic,  celestial,  palmy,  Saturn- 
ian,  and  transcendently  thrilling  sensations  of  a  genuine  Cleopatra's 
Bath,  while  the  impurities  of  your  system  are  exuding  in  prolific 
drops  from  seven  millions  of  open  pores.  'Tis  the  acme  of  bliss  ! 
And  as  the  perspiration  meanders  soothingly  over  your  oleaginous 
cuticle,  the  delectable  sensations  experienced  forcibly  impress  you 
that  you  have  found  the  "  distant  Aiden,"  or  that  you  are  basking 
in  the  sunshine  of  the  mythical  Elysium. 


LUXURIES  OF  CLEOPATRA'S  BATH. 

The  use  of  oils  and  fats  in  medicines,  either  alone  or  in  combination 
with  other  remedial  agents,  is  of  very  ancient  origin.  Among  the 
Jews,  the  act  of  anointing,  as  recorded  in  Scripture,  was  of  the 
simplest  character,  and  consisted  usually  in  pouring  oil  upon  the 
head  from  a  horn  or  other  receptacle,  such  as  the  alabaster  box, 
broken,  that  the  precious  ointment  it  contained  might  be  poured 
upon  the  head  of  Christ,  as  he  sat  at  meat  in  the  house  of  the  Phar- 
isee. This  form  of  anointing  was  customary  as  a  mark  of  distinc- 


24  MAGNETISM   AND    HYGIENE. 

tion,  as  in  the  case  of  kings  and  priests.  Isaiah  refers  to  oil  as 
ointment  in  medical  treatment,  and  anointing  was  prescribed  for 
the  sick  by  St.  James.  An  oil  bath,  according  to  Josephus,  was 
one  of  the  remedies  employed  in  the  case  of  Herod. 

Inunction  of  the  whole  body  was  practiced  among  the  Greeks 
and  Romans.  The  anointing  of  the  Grecian  athletes,  as  a  prepara- 
tion for  the  exercises  of  the  gymnasium  and  the  national  games,  is 
ample  proof  that  it  was  found  beneficial,  promoting  at  once  supple- 
ness and  strength,  and  restoring  the  tone  to  strained  muscles.  So 
important  was  the  anointing  considered  that  special  slaves,  known 
as  Aliptoe,  were  set  apart  for  this  purpose.  That  the  custom  of 
anointing  in  connection  with  the  bath  is  of  great  antiquity  appears 
from  Homer,  who  says  in  the  Odyssey — 

"  Sweet  Polycaste  took  the  pleasing  toil 
To  bathe  the  prince  and  pour  the  fragrant  oil." 

And  again,  in  the  Iliad,  Juno  anoints  herself  with  "  oil  ambrosial 
sweet,"  and  Venus  anoints  the  body  of  Hector  with  oil  scented 
with  roses.  But  it  was  in  the  Roman  baths  of  Caracalla,  of  Con- 
stantine,  of  Diocletian,  and  Titus,  and  other  emperors,  that  the  act 
of  anointing  was  carried  to  its  greatest  perfection  as  a  means  alike 
for  pleasure  and  of  health.  Special  rooms,  known  as  the  Unctua- 
rium,  or  Uleothesium,  were  provided.  The  slaves  anointed  the 
bathers  from  vials  of  gold,  studded  with  the  profusest  gems,  and 
containing  the  rarest  oils,  gathered  from  all  quarters  of  the  world. 
This  was  considered  the  main  delight  and  extravagance  of  the  bath, 
and  from  it  all  felt  the  freshness  of  rejuvenated  life. 

The  neglect  which  has  fallen  upon  the  old  method  of  inunction, 
which  once  constituted  the  main  reliance  of  a  school  of  physicians, 
(the  latraleptics)  is  surprising,  in  view  of  its  great  virtues  as  a 
means  of  treatment  in  a  variety  of  diseases.  The  fats  and  oils 
play  a  very  important  part  in  the  nutrition  of  the  body,  and  in  the 
evolution  of  force  for  the  exercise  of  function  by  the  various  organs 
and  tissues.  They  are  as  essential  to  life  as  air  or  water.

THE  CLEOPATRA  BATH. 

The  difference  between  the  so-called  Turkish  baths  and  the 
Cleopatra  Baths  : 

There  is  no  tobacco  allowed,  no  pulling  Chinese  cigars.  The 
weed  is  forbidden  inside  the  marble  walls.  Tobacco-smoke  will  not 
pollute  the  fragrance  of  the  place,  or  dim  the  windows,  so  richly 
stained  with  violet-colored  glass.  No  tobacco  to  choke  the  fair 
magnetic  manipulators  in  their  humane  duties.  It  cannot  be  that 
the  use  of  the  weed  is  conducive  to  efficient  activity  of  the  intel- 
lect, for  physiologists  all  agree  in  pronouncing  its  effect  to  be  that  of 
a  narcotic,  and  therefore  repressive  and  deleterious  to  the  nervous 
system  of  the  user. 

Cleopatra  loved  sun  baths.  So  there  is  an  apartment  for  the 
pure  white  light,  combining  all  the  rays  as  they  come  from  nature's 
glorious  fountain.  Remember,  dear  reader,  Cleopatra's  Bath  em- 
braces all  the  modern  improvements  of  Turkish  baths,  without  its 
errors.

PHBENOLOGICAL  SCIENCE, 


THE  DISCOVERY  OF  PHRENOLOGY. 

The  science  of  phrenology  was  discovered  by  Dr.  Francois  Joseph 
Gall,  of  Vienna.  He  was  born  in  a  village  of  the  Grand  Duchy  of 
Baden,  on  the  9th  of  March,  1756.  His  father  was  a  merchant, 
and  mayor  of  Tifenburn,  a  village  two  leagues  from  Phorzheim,  in 
Swabia.  His  parents,  professing  the  Roman  Catholic  religion,  had 
intended  him  for  the  church,  but  his  natural  dispositions  were  op- 
posed to  it.  His  studies  were  pursued  at  Baden,  afterwards  at 
Brucksal,  and  then  were  continued  at  Strasburg,  having  selected 
the  healing  art  for  his  profession.  He  went  into  the  Medical 
School  of  Vienna  in  1781,  at  which  he  gained  great  reputation. 

Dr.  Gall,  from  an  early  age,  was  given  to  observation,  and  was 
struck  with  the  mental  peculiarities  of  his  brothers  and  sisters, 
companions  in  play,  and  school-fellows.  Some  of  his  schoolmates 
were  distinguished  by  the  beauty  of  their  penmanship,  some  by 
their  success  in  arithmetic,  and  others  by  their  talent  for  acquiring 
a  knowledge  of  natural  history  or  languages ;  the  composition  of 
one  was  remarkable  for  elegance,  while  the  style  of  another  was 
formal  and  dry,  and  a  third  connected  his  reasonings  in  the  closest 
manner,  and  clothed  his  arguments  in  the  most  forcible  language. 
What  arrested  his  attention  was  the  large,  prominent,  and  bright 
eyes  of  the  scholars  that  possessed  a  great  talent  for  language,  to 
talk  incessantly,  and  commit  to  memory,  and  repeat  word  for  word. 
He  immediately  asked  himself  why  there  might  not  be  a  faculty 
for  love,  hope,  fear,  and  courage,  as  well  as  for  language.  By 
observation,  he  found  persons  who  were  very  courageous  to  possess 
a  large  development  of  brain  immediately  behind  and  above  the 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  27 

ears,  and  those  who  were  characterized  for  their  pure  and  dis- 
interested love  and  kindness,  to  have  the  anterior  superior  portion 
of  the  head  strongly  developed.  And  thus,  by  observations  and 
comparisons,  he  was  led  on  step  by  step,  until  he  conceived  himself 
warranted  in  the  opinion  that  the  head  was  composed  of  a  variety 
of  faculties.  He  did  not,  as  many  have  imagined,  first  dissect  the 
brain,  and  pretend  by  that  to  have  discovered  the  seat  of  the  men- 
tal powers.  Neither  did  he,  as  others  have  conceived,  first  map 
out  the  skull  into  various  compartments,  and  assign  a  faculty  to 
each,  according  as  his  imagination  led  him  to  conceive  the  place 
appropriated  to  the  power.  On  the  contrary,  he  first  observed  a 
concomitance  between  particular  talents  and  dispositions,  and  par- 
ticular forms  of  the  head.  He  next  ascertained,  by  the  removal 
of  the  skull,  that  the  figure  and  size  of  the  brain  are  indicated  by 
these  external  forms ;  and  it  was  only  after  these  facts  were  de- 
termined that  the  brain  was  minutely  dissected  and  light  thrown 
upon  its  structure. 

Dr.  Gall  was  first  known  as  an  author  in  1791.  He  commenced 
giving  courses  of  lectures  at  Vienna,  in  1796.  After  continuing 
his  lectures  for  five  years,  on  the  9th  of  January,  1802,  the  Aus- 
trian government  issued  an  order  that  they  should  cease ;  his 
doctrines  being  considered  dangerous  to  religion.  A  general  reg- 
ulation was  made  upon  the  occasion,  prohibiting  all  private  lec- 
tures, unless  a  special  permission  was  obtained  from  the  public 
authorities. 

Dr.  Gall  understood  the  object  of  this  general  regulation,  and 
never  solicited  permissson,  but  rather  stopped  his  courses.  The 
doctrine,  however,  continued  to  be  studied  with  greater  zeal  than 
before.  The  prohibition  strongly  stimulated  curiosity,  and  all 
publications  on  the  subject  continued  to  be  permitted,  provided 
they  abstained  from  reflecting  on  the  government  for  issuing  the 
order. 

Great  credit  should  be  awarded  to  Dr.  Spurzheim,  the  pupil  of 
Dr.  Gall  from  1800  to  1804,  after  which  period  he  was  associated 
with  Gall  in  his  labors ;  and  subsequently  to  that  period  he  not 
only  added  many  valuable  discoveries  to  those  of  Dr.  Gall,  in  the 
anatomy  and  physiology  of  the  brain,  but  principally  contributed 
to  form  the  truths  brought  to  light  by  their  respective  observations.

into  a  beautiful  and  interesting  system  of  mental  philosophy.  In 
Great  Britain,  we  are  indebted  chiefly  to  his  personal  exertions  for 
the  knowledge  of  the  science.  From  1804  until  1813,  Gall  and 
Spurzheim  traveled  through  many  parts  of  the  globe  together, 
making  discoveries  upon  this  interesting  and  useful  science. 

In  November,  1807,  Dr.  Gall,  assisted  by  Dr.  Spurzheim,  de- 
livered his  first  course  of  public  lectures  in  Paris.  His  lectures 
were  illustrated  by  a  numerous  collection  of  skulls,  heads,  casts, 
and  by  a  multiplicity  of  anatomical  and  physiological  facts.  Great 
indeed  was  the  ardor  excited  among  the  French  by  the  presence  of 
the  men  who,  as  they  supposed,  would  tell  their  fortunes  by  their 
heads.  Everybody  wanted  to  get  a  peep  at  them  ;  every  one  was 
anxious  to  give  a  dinner  or  a  supper.  There  was  a  list  on  which 
an  eager  candidate  was  delighted  to  inscribe  himself  for  a  break- 
fast, distant  three  months  and  a  half,  at  which  breakfast  he  sat  a 
wondering  guest. 

In  1808,  they  presented  a  joint  memoir  on  the  anatomy  of  the 
brain  to  the  French  Institute.  In  1809.  Gall  and  Spurzheim  com- 
menced publishing  their  magnificent  work  entitled  "  The  Anatomy 
and  Physiology  of  the  Nervous  System  in  general,  and  of  the 
Brain  in  particular,  with  observations  upon  the  possibility  of  ascer- 
taining several  Intellectual  and  Moral  Dispositions  of  Man  and 
Animals  by  the  configuration  of  their  heads >? ;  four  volumes  folio, 
with  an  atlas  of  100  plates  ;  price,  1,000  francs.  This  great  work 
was  continued  by  the  joint  exertions  of  Gall  and  Spurzheim  to  the 
completion  of  two  and  a  half  volumes,  and  was  ultimately  finished 
by  Gall  in  1819.  This  work,  which  cost  so  much  time  and  ex- 
pense, came  so  high  that  most  of  the  laboring  classes  were  unable 
to  purchase  it ;  but  Dr.  Gall,  having  a  great  desire  to  spread  his 
doctrines  throughout  the  globe,  was  induced,  from  1822  to  1826, 
to  publish  an  edition  of  his  work  without  plates,  in  six  volumes,  that 
would  come  within  the  means  of  all. 

In  1819,  at  the  request  of  the  Minister  of  the  Interior,  Dr.  Gall 
commenced  giving  courses  of  lectures  in  the  large  examination 
room  of  the  hospital  in  Paris.  His  audience  amounted  to  between 
two  and  three  hundred ;  and  so  eagerly  was  he  attended,  that 
many  more  tickets  were  applied  for  at  each  course  than  could  be 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  29 

given,  and  the  apartment  was  regularly  crowded  half  an  hour  be 
fore  the  lecture  began. 

The  physiognomical  expression  of  some  of  the  English  students 
who  were  present  at  Blainvelle's  lecture,  and  who  probably  knew 
nothing  of  phrenology  but  through  the  English  reviews,  was  truly 
ludicrous.  They  seemed  to  relax  their  features  for  a  laugh  when 
the  name  of  Dr.  Gall  first  escaped  the  lips  of  the  professor  ;  but 
when  they  heard  him  spoken  of  with  respect,  and  his  doctrine  de- 
clared to  be  true,  the  expression  changed  into  wonder  and  surprise 
in  some,  and  in  others  to  absolute  contempt. 

In  March,  1828,  at  the  conclusion  of  one  of  his  lectures,  Dr. 
Gall  was  seized  with  a  paralytic  attack,  from  which  he  never  per- 
fectly recovered,  and  which  ultimately  carried  him  off  on  the  26th 
of  August,  1828,  in  the  seventy-second  year  of  his  age.  His  re- 
mains were  followed  to  the  grave  by  an  immense  concourse  of 
friends,  five  of  whom  pronounced  discourses  over  his  grave.  The 
death  of  this  illustrious  man  was  an  immense  loss  to  phrenology, 
physiology,  and  medicine ;  and  for  the  proof  of  these  statements, 
we  have  only  to  examine  the  vast  number  of  works  he  has  left  be- 
hind him. 

In  1813,  the  united  labors  of  Dr.  Gall  and  Dr.  Spurzheim 
ceased,  and  each  pursued  his  discoveries  separate.  Spurzheim  left 
Paris  to  visit  Vienna  and  Great  Britain  in  1828.  He  afterward 
came  to  the  United  States,  and  died  in  Boston  on  the  10th  of 
November,  1832,  in  the  fifty-seventh  year  of  his  age.  He  was  a 
man  possessing  an  extraordinarily  well-balanced  head,  with  strong 
temperaments  harmoniously  developed.  He  was  honest,  candid, 
and  persevering,  and  was  instrumental  in  converting  the  most 
learned  and  scientific  men  of  France  and  England  to  the  belief  of 
phrenology.  He  introduced  the  science  into  our  own  country,  and 
here  his  name  will  be  remembered  as  long  as  talents  are  admired, 
virtue  honored,  and  genius  appreciated. 

DEFINITION  AND  PROOFS  OF  PHRENOLOGY. 

PHRENOLOGY  —  derived  from  two  Greek  words  meaning  "  mind  " 
and  "  discourse  "  —  points  out  certain  cause-and-effect  relations 


30  PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE. 

existing  between  particular  FORMS  or  developments  and  conditions 
of  the  brain,  and  their  accompanying  MANIFESTATIONS  of  the 
mind,  and  predicates  the  respective  peculiarities  of  the  character  and 
talents  of  different  persons  from  the  forms,  sizes,  and  other  organic 
conditions  of  their  brains. 

It  must,  of  necessity,  be  either  true  or  false.  If  true,  it  con- 
stitutes a  distinctive  department  of  nature,  and  must,  therefore, 
harmonize  with  all  her  other  departments ;  but  if  false,  it  must 
needs  conflict  with  her  laws  and  facts.  Surely,  then,  it  need  not 
be  difficult  to  ascertain  whether  it  thus  agrees  or  conflicts  with 
nature. 

Its  distinctive  doctrines  are  that : 

The  mind  is  composed  of  different  PRIMARY  POWERS  or  forces, 
called  faculties,  each  of  which  manifests  a  specific  CLASS  of  the 
mental  functions. 

Thus,  the  feeling  of  sympathy  is  the  product  of  one  mental 
faculty,  called  Benevolence,  and  memory  of  facts  is  put  forth  by 
another,  called  Eventuality ;  while  reasoning  by  induction  is  ex- 
ercised by  another,  called  Comparison  :  and  thus  that  there  exist  as 
many  primary  mental  capacities  as  man  can  experience  different 
kinds  of  mental  functions. 

That  the  mind  consists  of  several  elemental  faculties,  and  not  of 
one  single  power,  is  evinced  by — 

1.  The  different  inherent  traits  and  instincts  of  different  persons 
and  animals.     The  duck  "  takes  to  "  water,  and  the  eagle  to  crags  ; 
the  lion  to  flesh  and  the  horse  to  grain  ;  one  man  to  letters  and  another 
to  mechanics  ;  one  to  philanthropy  and  another   to   money,  etc., 
because  impelled  thereto  by  strong  innate  proclivities.     "  Poets 
are  born,  not  educated." 

2.  Monomania  is  consequent  on  the  derangement  of  one  mental 
faculty,  while  all  the  other  faculties  are  sane.     If  it  consisted   in 
only  one  element,  all  its  functions  must  needs  be  deranged  or  sane 
together,  according  as  this  one  was  sane  or  insane. 

Phrenology  teaches  that  the  brain  is  the  organ  of  the  mind  ; 
that  a  large  brain,  with  organic  quality  very  good,  is  superior  in 
power  to  a  smaller  one  ;  that  an  active  brain  will  accomplish  much 
more  than  a  dull  one  of  the  same  size ;  that  all  great  geniuses 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.

have  large  heads  and  active  temperaments ;  that  in  proportion  as 
the  head  is  small  and  the  temperament  dull,  will  the  person  be 
deficient ;  that  the  brain  is  composed  of  a  plurality  of  organs,  part 
of  which  may  act  at  the  same  time,  while  others  lay  dormant ; 
that  dreaming  is  caused  by  most  of  the  organs  being  asleep  while 
some  are  partially  awake ;  that  an  organ  is  a  faculty  of  the  mind, 
having  a  specific  function  to  perform,  as  hope,  fear,  or  memory  of 
events,  which  may  act  or  rest  separately,  or  in  company  with  other 
organs,  depending  on  the  circumstances  of  the  case. 

The  skull,  or  superior  expansion  of  the  vertebral  column,  is  com- 
posed of  four  vertebrae,  the  elementary  parts  of  which  are  specially 
modified  in  form  and  size,  and  are  almost  immovably  connected, 
for  the  reception  of  the  brain  and  special  organs  of  the  senses. 
These  vertebrae  are  the  occipital,  parietal,  frontal,  and  nasal. 
Descriptive  anatomists,  however,  divide  the  skull  into  two  parts, 
the  cranium  and  the  face.  The  cranium  is  composed  of  eight 
bones,  viz :  the  occipital,  two  parietal,  frontal,  two  temporal,  sphe- 
noid, and  ethmoid.  The  face  is  composed  of  fourteen  bones,  viz  :

SIZE    OF    BKAIN. 

Size,  other  things  being  equal,  indicates  the  power  of  function. 

That  this  proposition  expresses  a  general  law  is  evinced  by  the 
general  fact  that  the  larger  the  pieces  of  wood,  iron,  etc.,  are,  the 
stronger  they  are  ;  that  larger  horses,  persons,  etc.,  are  proportion- 
ally more  powerful  than  smaller,  and  thus  of  everything  else. 
Though  sometimes  smaller  men,  horses,  etc.,  are  stronger,  can  lift, 
draw,  and  endure  more  than  others  that  are  larger,  because  they 
are  different  in  organic  quality,  healtl^  etc.,  yet  where  the  quality 
is  the  same,  whichever  is  largest  is  proportionally  the  most  powerful. 

And  this  undisputed  law  of  things  is  equally  true  of  the  brain, 
and  that  mental  power  put  forth  thereby.  All  really  great  men 
have  great  heads — merely  smart  ones,  or  those  great  only  in  cer- 
tain faculties  or  specialties  of  character,  not  always.  The  brains 
of  Cuvier,  Byron,  and  Spurzheim  were  among  the  very  heaviest 
ever  weighed.  True,  Byron's  hat  was  small,  doubtless  because  his 
brain  was  conical,  and  most  developed  in  its  base  ;  but  its  great 
weight  establishes  its  great  size.  So  does  that  of  Bonaparte.  Be- 
sides, he  wore  a  very  large  hat — one  which  passed  clear  over  the 
head  of  Colonel  Lehmenouski,  one  of  his  body-guard,  whose  head 
measured  23£  inches,  so  that  Bonaparte's  head  must  have  measured 
nearly  or  quite  24  inches.  Webster's  head  was  massive,  measur- 
ing over  24  inches,  and  Clay's  23^ ;  and  that  is  about  Van  Buren's 
size.  Chief  Justice  Gibson's,  the  greatest  jurist  of  Pennsylvania, 
was  24i  ;  and  Hamilton's  hat  passed  over  the  head  of  a  man  whose 
head  measured  23£.  Burke's  head  was  immense  ;  so  was  Jeffer- 
son's ;  while  Franklin's  hat  passed  over  the  ears  of  a  24-inch  head. 
Judge  McLean's  head  exceeded  23£  inches.  The  heads  of  Wash- 
ington, Adams,  and  a  thousand  other  'celebrities,  were  also  very 
large.  Bright,  apt,  smart,  literary,  knowing,  even  eloquent  men, 
etc.,  often  have  only  average,  even  moderate-sized  heads,  because 
endowed  with  the  very  highest  organic  quality ,  yet  such  are  more 
admired  than  commanding — more  brilliant  than  powerful — more 
acute  than  profound.  Though  they  may  show  off  well  in  an  ordi- 
nary sphere,  yet  they  are  not  the  men  for  great  occasions,  nor  have 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  33 

they  that  giant  force  of  intellect  which  moulds  and  sways  nations 
and  ages.  The  phrenological  law  is,  that  size,  other  things  being 
equal,  is  a  measure  of  power ;  yet  these  other  conditions,  such  as 
activity,  power,  motive,  health,  physiological  habits,  etc.,  increase 
or  diminish  the  mentality  even  more  than  size.  Quality  is  more  im- 
portant than  quantity,  but  true  greatness  requires  both  cerebral 
quantity  and  quality. 

Still,  those  again  who  have  very  large  heads  are  sometimes  al- 
most foolish,  because  their  organic  quality  is  low.  As  far,  then,  as 
concerns  phrenology  itself,  this  doctrine  of  size  appertains  to  the 
different  organs  in  the  same  head,  rather  than  to  different 
heads.  Still,  this  doctrine,  that  size  is  the  measure  of  power,  is  no 
more  a  special  doctrine  of  phrenology  than  of  every  other  depart- 
ment of  nature.  And  those  who  object  to  this  science  on  this 
ground  are  objecting  to  a  known  law  of  things.  If  size  were  the 
only  condition  of  power,  their  cavils  might  be  worthy  of  notice  ;  as 
it  is,  they  are  not. 

Though  tape  measurements,  taken  around  the  head,  from  Indi- 
viduality to  Philoprogenitiveness  or  Parental  Love,  give  some  idea 
of  the  size  of  the  brain,  the  fact  that  some  heads  are  round  and 
others  long,  some  low  and  others  high,  etc.,  so  modifies  these  meas- 
urements that  they  do  not  convey  any  very  correct  idea  of  the 
actual  quantity  of  brain.  Yet  these  measurements  range  some- 
what as  follows  in  adults  : 

7,  or  Very  Large,  23|  inches,  and  upward  ;  6,  or  Large,  from 
22|  to  23| ;  5,  or  Full,  from  22  to  22}  ;  4,  or  Average,  from  21£ 
to  22;  3,  or  Moderate,  from  20}  to  2H ;  2,  or  Small,  from  20  to 
20|;  1,  below  20.  Female  heads  are  half  an  inch  to  an  inch 
below  these  measurements.  Those  whose  heads  are — 

7,  or  VERY  LARGE. — With  quality  good,  are  naturally  great ; 
with  quality  and  activity  6  or  7,  and  the  intellectual  organs  6  or  7, 
are  a  natural  genius,  a  mental  giant ;  even  without  education,  will 
surmount  all  disadvantages,  learn  with  wonderful  facility,  sway 
mind,  and  become  pre-eminent ;  with  the  organs  of  practical  intel- 
lect and  the  propelling  powers  6  or  7,  will  possess  natural  abilities 
of  the  first  order ;  manifest  a  clearness  and  force  of  intellect  which 
will  astonish  mankind,  and  a  power  of  feeling  which  will  carry  all 


34  PHRENOLOGICAL   SCIENCE. 

before  them,  and,  with  proper  cultivation,  become  bright  stars  in  the 
firmament  of  intellectual  greatness,  upon  which  coming  ages  will 
gaze  with  delight  and  astonishment.  With  quality  and  activity  5 
or  4,  are  great  on  great  occasions,  and,  when  thoroughly  roused, 
manifest  splendid  talents,  and  naturally  take  the  lead  among  men. 
otherwise  not ;  with  activity  or  quality  deficient,  must  cultivate 
much  in  order  to  become  much. 

6.  LARGE. — With  activity  and  quality  6  or  7,  combine  great 
power  of  mind  with  great  activity,  exercise  a  commanding  influence 
over  other  minds  to  sway  and  persuade,  and  enjoy  and  suffer  in  the 
extreme ;  with  perceptives  6,  can  conduct  a  large  business  or  un- 
dertaking successfully,  rise  to  eminence,  if  not  pre-eminence,  and 
evince  great  originality  and  power  of  intellect,  strong  native  sense, 
superior  judgment,  great  force  of  character  and  feeling,  and  make 
a  conspicuous  and  enduring  mark  on  the  intellectual  or  business 
world,  or  in  whatever  direction  those  superior  capacities  are  put 
forth.  With  activity  and  quality  5,  are  endowed  with  superior 
natural  talents,  yet  require  strong  incentives  to  call  them  out ;  un- 
developed by  circumstances,  may  pass  through  life  without  ac- 
complishing much,  or  attracting  notice,  or  evincing  more  than  ordi- 
nary parts ;  but  with  the  perceptive  and  forcible  organs  also  6,  and 
talents  disciplined  and  called  out,  manifest  a  vigor  and  energy  far 
above  mediocrity  ;  are  adequate  to  carry  forward  great  undertak- 
ings, demanding  originality  and  force  of  mind  and  character,  yet 
are  rather  indolent.  With  activity  only  average,  possess  consider- 
able energy  of  intellect  and  feeling,  yet  seldom  manifest  it,  unless 
brought  out  by  some  powerful  stimulus,  and  are  rather  too  indolent 
to  exert,  especially  intellect. 

5.  FULL. — With  quality  or  activity  6  or  7,  and  the  organs  of 
practical  intellect  and  of  the  propelling  powers  large,  or  very  large, 
although  not  really  great  in  intellect,  or  deep,  are  very  clever  ; 
have  considerable  talent,  and  that  so  distributed  that  it  shows  to  be 
even  more  or  better  than  it  really  is ;  are  capable  of  being  a  good 
scholar,  doing  a  fine  business,  and,  with  advantages  and  application, 
of  becoming  distinguished  somewhat,  yet  inadequate  to  great  un- 
dertakings ;  cannot  sway  an  extensive  influence,  nor  become  really 
great,  yet  have  excellent  natural  capacities  ;  with  activity  4  or  5. 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  35 

will  do  tolerably  well,  and  manifest  a  common  share  of  talent ;  with 
activity  only  3,  will  neither  be  nor  do  much  worthy  of  notice. 

4.  AVERAGE. — With  activity  6,  manifest  a  quick,  clear,  sprightly 
mind,  and  off-hand  talents,  and  are  capable  of  doing  a  fair  busi- 
ness, especially  if  the  stamina  is  good. 

3,  2,  and  1. — You  are  weak  in  mind  and  need  the  guidance  of 
other  intellects  in  every  undertaking ;  are  incapable  of  managing 
any  business. 

ORGANIC    QUALITY. 

Persons  can,  in  texture,  be  compared  to  wood  or  cloth.  The 
stern,  rugged,  or  solid  man  can  be  compared  to  lignum  vitce  or  the 
rugged  oak.  Then  we  have  the  dish-water  man,  all  swash  and 
softness ;  he  can  be  compared  to  basswood  or  poplar ;  the  poplar 
man  is  coarse  and  gross,  not  finely  organized  ;  the  basswood  man 
can  stand  but  little  outward  pressure  from  others,  and  is  easily 
broken.  Some  persons  are  like  coarse  tow,  or  linen  cloth,  the  rag- 
tag of  all  creation ;  others  are  like  the  finer  grades  of  silk  and 
satin.  Fine-grained  persons  wear  well,  but  are  out  of  place  in 
the  coarse  drudgeries. 

VERY  GOOD. — You  are  7  degrees  of  development  in  organic 
quality.  You  are  delicate  in  structure,  with  small  bones,  moder- 
ate development  of  muscle,  finely-cut  features,  and  a  high  organism 
generally.  Brain  predominates  over  body,  and  your  mental  states 
have  a  powerful  influence  over  your  physical  condition.  Are  pre- 
eminently fine-grained,  pure-minded,  ethereal,  sentimental,  refined, 
high-toned,  intense  in  emotion,  full  of  human  nature,  most  ex- 
quisitely susceptible  to  impressions  of  all  kinds,  most  poetic  in 
temperament,  lofty  in  aspiration,  and  endowed  with  wonderful  in- 
tuition as  to  truth,  what  is  right,  best,  etc. ;  are  unusually  developed 
in  the  interior  or  spirit  life,  and  far  above  most  of  those  with  whom 
they  come  in  contact,  and  hence  find  few  congenial  spirits,  and  are 
neither  understood  nor  appreciated ;  when  sick,  suffer  inexpress- 
ibly, and,  if  children,  are  precocious — too  smart,  too  good  to  live, 
and  absolutely  must  be  treated  physiologically,  or  die  early. 

GOOD. — You  are  6  in  the  organic  quality.  You  have  a  re- 
markably refined,  sensitive,  and  delicate  organization  ;  are  suscept- 


36  PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE. 

ible  of  exquisite  enjoyment  and  intense  suffering ;  and  are  delicate 
in  structure,  with  small  bones,  a  moderate  development  of  muscle, 
finely  cut  features  ;  you  are  adapted  to  fine  and  light  work. 

FULL. — You  are  5,  neither  a  coarse  nor  fine  quality ;  your  tastes 
are  elevated  rather  than  degrading ;  you  have  a  love  of  the  beau- 
ties of,  nature  and  art ;  you  look  upon  marble  statuary  with  ad- 
miration, and  you  would  make  a  good  warming-pan  for  a  living 
statue. 

AVERAGE. — You  are  4  ;  there  is  a  good  deal  of  homespun  about 
^you. 

MODERATE. — You  are  3,  rough  and  ready. 

SMALL  AND  VERY  SMALL. — You  are  of  the  dish-water  quality. 

How  TO  CULTIVATE. — First,  guard  against  excess  ;  remember, 
excess  is  the  only  devil  there  is.  Tobacco,  poisonous  liquors,  pork, 
and  late  suppers  feed  the  animal  passions ;  0,  try  and  obey  the 
Hygiene  Law.  Put  yourself  in  the  way  of  moral  and  religious 
influences,  and  cultivate  the  intellectual  faculties,  so  far  as  you 
are  able. 

STATE  OF  THE  HEALTH. 

Health  consists  in  the  normal  and  vigorous  exercise  of  all  the 
physical  functions,  and  disease  in  their  abnormal  action.  Health 
is  pleasurable,  disease  painful.  Health  is  life,  for  life  consists  in 
the  normal  action  of  those  same  functions  in  which  health  consists. 
And  to  improve  health  is  to  increase  life  itself,  and  all  its  pleasures. 
Some  writer  has  appropriately  defined  health  thus  : 

Planting  your  foot  upon  the  green  sward,  looking  around,  and 
yielding  yourself  to  whatever  feelings  naturally  arise,  health  is  pro- 
portionate to  that  buoyant,  jubilant,  exhilarating,  ecstatic  feeling 
which  supervenes.  It  is  to  all  our  functions  what  motive  power  is 
to  machinery — sets  them  off  with  a  rush  and  a  bound.  It  both 
makes  us  happy,  and  causes  everything  else  to  increase  that  hap- 
piness. 

But  disease  renders  us  miserable,  and  turns  everything  around 
us  into  occasion  of  misery.  It  both  weakens  and  perverts  our 
mental  being.  Indeed,  health  is  the  quintessence  of  every  earthly 
good — disease  of  every  terrestrial  evil.  Poor  indeed  is  he,  how-

ever  rich  in  money,  in  honors,  in  office,  in  everything  else  whatso- 
ever, whose  health  is  poor  ;  for  how  can  he  enjoy  his  dollars  and 
honors  ?  But  rich  indeed  is  he  who  is  healthy,  however  poor  in 
money,  for  he  enjoys  whatsoever  he  has  or  is.  A  rich  man  may, 
indeed,  purchase  a  luxuriant  dinner,  but  without  health  does  not, 
cannot  relish  it  ;  whereas,  a  poor  man,  with  health,  enjoys  even  a 
dry  crust. 

7.  VERY  GOOD.  —  You  are  full  of  life  ;  vigorous,  strong,  buoy- 
ant, and  hearty  in  the  highest  degree,  and  enjoy  exquisite  pleasure 
in  the  mere  sense  of  animal  existence.  The  present  state  of  your 
lungs,  heart,  stomach,  liver,  gall-bladder,  pancreas,  spleen,  kidneys, 
and  intestines  is  perfect. 

6.  GOOD.  —  All  your  bones,  muscles,  and  nerves  are  apparently 
in  good  working  order,  and  you  enjoy  the  exercise  of  every  organ 
of  body  and  brain. 

5.  FULL.  —  You  have  a  full  share  of  vigor  and  vital  stamina. 

4.  AVERAGE.  —  You  have  a  fair  degree  of  health. 

3.  MODERATE.  —  You  are  deficient  in  vitality,  are  easily  fatigued, 
often  ailing,  and  seldom  capable  of  any  great  degree  of  phys- 
ical or  mental  exertion.  You  must  avoid  overdoing,  and  make  the 
restoration  of  your  health  your  first  object.  Stop  all  unnecessary 
drafts  upon  your  remaining  stock  of  vitality,  and  seek,  by  means  of 
rest,  sleep,  and  recreation,  to  increase  it.  Drinking,  smoking, 
chewing,  late  hours,  and  all  kinds  of  dissipation,  must  be  entirely 
avoided.  Take  the  Cleopatra  Bath. 

2.  POOR.  —  You  have  but  a  small  amount  of  health  left. 

1.  You  are  ready  for  cremation. 

THE  TEMPERAMENTS. 

Earth,  water,  air,  and  fire  —  or  solids,  fluids,  gases,  and  mag- 
netisms —  from  this  classification  was  derived  the  arrangement  of 
the  temperaments,  bilious,  phlegmatic,  sanguine,  and  nervous. 

There  are  four  temperaments,  accompanied  with  different  de- 
grees of  activity  in  the  brain  —  the  lymphatic,  the  sanguine,  the 
bilious,  and  the  nervous.  The  temperaments  are  supposed  to  de- 
pend upon  the  constitution  of  particular  conditions  of  the  body  ; 


38  PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE. 

the  brain  and  nerves,  being  predominantly  active  from  constitu- 
tional causes,  seem  to  produce  the  nervous  temperament ;  the 
lungs,  heart,  and  blood-vessels,  being  constitutionally  predominant, 
to  give  rise  to  the  sanguine  ;  the  muscular  and  fibrous  systems,  to 
the  bilious ;  and  the  glands  and  assimilating  organs,  to  the  lym- 
phatic. 

The  different  temperaments  are  indicated  by  external  signs, 
which  are  open  to  observation. 

Phrenology  and  physiology,  combined,  prove  that  there  is  as  much 
depending  on  the  quality  as  the  quantity  of  brain,  and  by  the  aid 
of  the  temperaments  we  are  enabled  to  judge  with  a  greater  de- 
gree of  accuracy  than  it  would  be  possible  for  us  to  do  without. 
In  fact,  a  knowledge  of  the  temperaments  is  as  essential  to  a  suc- 
cessful prosecution  of  the  study  of  phrenology  as  a  knowledge  of 
the  four  ground  rules  of  arithmetic  is  to  a  general  knowledge  of 
mathematics. 

The  degrees  of  development  are  marked  from  1  to  7. 

You  are  7,  6,  5,  4,  3,  2,  1. 

1.  Your  lymphatic  or  phlegmatic  temperament  is  indicated  by  a 
general  roundness  and  softness  of  the  body  and  muscular  system, 
fair  hair,  pale  skin,  and  a  sluggish  circulation  of  the  blood.     The 
brain  suffers  by  the  inactivity  of  the  system,  and  an  indolent,  ease- 
seeking  disposition  follows. 

2.  Your  sanguine  or  vital  temperament  is  indicated  by  a  well- 
defined  and  moderate  fullness  of  form,  and  firmness  of  muscle, 
light  hair  and  eyes,  and  fair  complexion,  with  a  ruddy,  animated 
countenance.     It  is  marked  by  a  great  rapidity  in  the  circulation 
of  the  blood,  and  general  desire  for  bodily  exercise.     The  brain,  of 
course,  is  quite  active. 

3.  Your  bilious  or  motive  temperament  is  indicated  by  a  dark 
complexion,  black  hair  and  eyes,  moderate  fullness,  and  much  firm- 
ness of  flesh,  large  muscles  and  bones,  stout  features,  bones  pro- 
jecting, expressed  outline  of  person,  with  great  physical  strength, 
and  power  of  endurance,  both  of  body  and  mind,  but  only  mod- 
erate activity. 

4.  Your  nervous  or  mental  temperament  is  distinguished  by  a 
delicately  constituted  body,  small  features,  weak  and  small  mus- 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  39 

cles,  fine  hair,  white,  thin,  and  clear  skin,  delicate  health,  and 
liable  to  early  decay.  The  brain  is  extremely  sensitive  and  excit- 
able, with  a  rapid  circulation  of  the  whole  nervous  system.  The 
mental  manifestations  are  consequently  vivid,  intense,  and  rapid. 

The  temperaments  are  generally  blended  together,  and  are  sel- 
dom found  in  a  separate  state.  A  large  share  of  the  nervous, 
sanguine,  and  bilious  combined  is  most  favorable  to  a  literary 
pursuit,  and  produces  both  power  and  activity  of  body  and  mind. 
A  person  with  this  combination  large,  or  very  large,  will  drive  the 
concrete  mind  up  to  great  effort  to  accomplish  such  objects  as  the 
largest  organs  and  ruling  passions  may  dictate.  One  with  this 
temperament  is  susceptible,  overflowing  with  feeling,  and  agitated 
with  emotions,  whether  of  grief  or  joy.  When  he  enjoys,  it  is  with 
the  most  intense  fervency  ;  and  when  he  suffers,  his  sufferings  are 
extremely  excruciating.  Men  who  rise  to  eminence  frequently 
possess  this  temperament,  with  a  large-sized  head. 

The  sanguine  bilious  is  not  an  unfavorable  temperament.  It 
imparts  great  mental  power,  but  generally  there  is  some  particular 
weakness  lurking  in  the  system.  This  temperament  is  possessed  by 
the  hard-working  classes;  and  they  show  their  talents  more  in 
business  than  in  literary  pursuits. 

The  nervous  bilious  unites  great  activity  with  strength.  The 
intellectual  manifestations  are  liable  to  be  infused.  This  gives  the 
off-hand  talent ;  and  generally  an  individual  is  able  to  summon  his 
energies  into  action  at  a  moment's  warning. 

The  lymphatic  mind,  with  the  bilious,  gives  corporeal  strength, 
and  an  individual  needs  favorable  circumstances  and  a  great 
amount  of  excitement  to  urge  him  up  to  action  that  is  absolutely 
necessary  for  his  well-being. 

The  sanguine  lymphatic  is  an  unfavorable  temperament.  The 
abdomen  is  too  large  for  the  brain  and  bones.  It  produces  a  great 
disposition  to  eat,  sleep,  live,  and  take  ease. 

The  lymphatic,  blended  with  the  nervous,  in  an  individual, 
causes  one  to  steer'  clear  of  hard  work  or  hard  study,  and  lacks 
strength  and  power  of  endurance. 

The  nervous,  blended  with  the  sanguine,  gives  an  individual  a 
desire  to  follow  some  intellectual  pursuit,  or  some  mechanical  trade, 


40  PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE. 

or  to  follow  some  light,  clean  business,  and  is  often  accompanied 
with  much  vehemence  of  physical  action,  and  splendor  of  mind, 
yet  it  lacks  perseverance  and  determination.  The  mental  mani- 
festations burn  brilliantly,  yet  they  are  soon  extinguished,  the  ex- 
citability being  superior  to  the  power  of  endurance. 

These  temperaments  are  often  changed  by  climate,  mode  of 
living,  exercise,  diet,  etc.  Notice  a  hundred  boys  reared  in  the 
country,  whose  physical  energies  are  expanded  by  the  cultivation 
of  the  soil,  and  breathing  the  fresh  and  invigorating  air  ;  and  then 
notice  the  same  number  of  boys  born  and  brought  up  in  a  large 
city,  without  labor,  sent  to  school,  pent  up  in  stores,  or  immured 
in  a  library  or  an  office,  in  a  filthy  street,  where  there  is  little 
or  no  wholesome  air,  sixteen  hours  out  of  twenty-four,  and  mark  the 
result  at  the  age  of  twenty-one.  Those  in  the  country  will  gen- 
erally be  of  a  strong,  energetic  physical  constitution,  while  those 
in  the  city  will  generally  be  small  and  slender,  looking  poor,  ema- 
ciated, and  dyspeptic. 

A  WELL-BALANCED  TEMPERAMENT 

Is  by  far  the  best.  That  most  favorable  to  true  greatness  and  gen- 
eral genius,  to  strength  of  character,  along  with  perfection,  and 
to  harmony  and  consistency  throughout,  is  one  in  which  each  is 
strongly  marked,  and  all  about  equally  developed. 

ACTIVITY    INDICATED    BY    LENGTH. 

In  and  by  the  nature  of  things,  length  of  form  facilitates  ease  of 
action.  Thus,  deer,  gazelle,  greyhound,  giraffe,  tiger,  weasel,  eel, 
and  all  long  and  slim  animals,  are  quick-motioned,  lively,  sprightly, 
nimble,  and  agile.  The  same  principle  applies  equally  to  persons. 
Thus,  those  very  long-favored,  or  in  whom  this  form  is 

7.  Are  as  quick  as  a  flash  to  perceive  and  do ;  agile  ;  light-motion- 
ed ;  limber-jointed ;  nimble  ;  always  in  motion ;  restless  as  the 
wind  ;  talk  too  rapidly  to  be  emphatic  ;  have  no  lazy  bones  in  their 
bodies ;  are  always  moving  head,  hands,  feet,  something  ;  are 
natural  scholars. 


PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE.  41 

6.  GREAT. — Yours  is  a  restless,  active,  lively  organization. 

5  and  4.  FULL  OR  AVERAGE. — You  have  a  fair  degree  of  mental 
activity. 

3,2,  and  1. — You  are  too  slow  to  be  of  much  service  to  yourself 
or  anybody  else — decidedly  inert. 

EXCITABILITY  INDICATED  BY  SHARPNESS. 

All  sharp  things  are,  in  and  by  the  very  nature  of  their  form, 
penetrating,  of  which  the  needle  furnishes  an  example.  And  this 
Jaw  applies  equally  to  human  beings.  From  time  immemorial  a 
sharp  nose  has  been  considered  indicative  of  a  scolding  disposition  ; 
yet  it  is  equally  so  of  intensity  in  the  other  feelings,  as  well  as 
those  which  scold. 

7.  Are  extremely  susceptible  to  impressions  of  all  kinds ;  in- 
tensely excited  by  trifles  ;  apt  to  magnify  good,  bad,  everything, 
far  beyond  the  reality ;  a  creature  of  impulse  and  mere  feeling ; 
subject  to  extreme  ups  and  downs  of  emotion  ;  one  hour  in  the 
garret,  the  next  in  the  cellar  ;  extremely  liable  to  neuralgia  and 
nervous  affections ;  with  quality  and  activity  6  or  7,  have  ardent 
desires ;  intense  feelings ;  keen  susceptibilities  ;  enjoy  and   suffer 
in  the  extreme  ;  are  whole-souled  ;  sensitive ;  positive,  in  likes  and 
dislikes  ;  cordial ;  enthusiastic  ;  impulsive  ;  have  hobbies ;  abound 
in  good  feeling,  yet  are  quick-tempered ;  excitable  ;  liable  to  ex- 
tremes ;  have  a  great  deal  of  soul  or  passion,  and  warmth  of  feel- 
ing;  are    brilliant    writers     or    speakers,   but   too    refined   and 
sensitive  for  the  mass  of  mankind ;  gleam  in  the  career  of  genius, 
but  burn  out  the  vital  powers  on  the  altar  of  nervous  excitability. 

6.  Are  like  7,  only  less  so  ;  warm-hearted,  impetuous,  impul- 
sive, full  of  soul?  and  too  susceptible  to  external  influences  ;  swayed 
too  much  by  feeling  ;  and  need  much  self-government  and  coolness. 

5.  Are  sufficiently  sensitive  and  susceptible  to  exciting  causes, 
yet  not  passional,  nor  impulsive  ;  and  easily  roused,  yet  not  easily 
carried  away  by  excitements.  With  activity  6  or  7,  are  very 
quick,  but  perfectly  cool ;  decide  and  act  instantly,  yet  knowingly  ; 
do  nothing  without  thinking,  but  think  and  do  instantaneously ;  are 

4 


42  PHRENOLOGICAL    SCIENCE. 

never  flustered,  but  combine  great  rapidity  with  perfect  self- 
possession. 

4.  Are  like  the  placid  lake — no  waves,  no  noise,  and  evince  the 
same  quiet  spirit  under  all  circumstances. 

3.  Are  rather  phlegmatic  ;  slow  to  perceive  and  feel ;  rather  cold. 


PHYSIOGNOMY, 


PHYSIOGNOMY    A  TRUE  SCIENCE. 

That  nature  has  instituted  a  science  of  physiognomy  as  a  facial 
expression  of  mind  and  character  is  proclaimed  by  the  very  instincts 
of  man  and  animals.  Cannot  the  very  dog  tell  whether  his  master 
is  pleased  or  displeased,  and  the  very  slave  who  will  make  a  good 
and  who  a  cruel  master — and  all  by  the  expression  of  the  counte- 
nance ?  The  fact  is,  that  nature  compels  all  her  productions  to 
proclaim  their  interior  virtues — their  own  shame,  even — and  hoists 
a  true  flag  of  character  at  their  mast-head,  so  that  he  who  runs  may 
read. 

Thus,  all  apples  both  tell  that  they  possess  apple  character  by 
their  apple  shape,  but  what  kind  of  apple — whether  good,  bad,  or 
indifferent — by  their  special  forms,  colors,  etc. ;  all  fish,  not  only 
that  they  are  fish,  but  whether  trout  or  sturgeon,  and  all  humans 
that  they  are  human  by  their  outline  aspect.  And  thus  of  all  things. 

Moreover,  though  all  human  beings  have  the  general  human  form 
and  features — though  all  have  eyes,  nose,  mouth,  skin,  etc. — yet 
every  one  has  a  different  face  and  look  from  every  other.  And 
more  yet,  the  same  person  has  a  very  different  facial  look  at  differ- 
ent times,  according  as  he  is  angry  or  friendly,  etc.  And  always 
the  same  look  when  in  the  same  mood.  Of  course,  then,  something 
causes  this  expression — especially  since  all  who  are  angry,  friendly, 
etc.,  have  one  general  or  similar  expression;  that  is,  one  look  ex- 
presses anger,  another  affection,  another  devotion,  another  kindness, 
etc.  And  since  nature  always  works  by  means,  she  must  needs 
have  her  physiognomical  tools.  Nor  are  they  under  the  control  of 
will,  for  they  act  spontaneously.  We  cannot  help,  whether  we  will 


44  PHYSIOGNOMY. 

or  no,  laughing  when  merry,  even  though  in  church,  pouting  when 
provoked,  and  expressing  all  our  mental  operations,  down  even  to 
the  very  innermost  recesses  of  our  souls,  in  and  by  our  counte- 
nances: and  with  more  minuteness  and  completeness  than  by 
words,  especially  when  the  expressions  are  intense  or  peculiar. 
Spirits  are  said  to  converse  mainly  by  their  expressions  of  counte- 
nance— to  look  their  thoughts  and  emotions,  instead  of  talking  them. 

Certain  it  is  that  the  countenance  expresses  a  greater  amount  of 
thought  and  feeling,  together  with  their  nicer  shades  and  phases, 
than  words  can  possibly  communicate.  By  what  means,  then,  is 
this  effected  ?  By  magnetic  centers,  called  poles.  Every  physical 
and  mental  organ  has  its  pole  stationed  in  a  given  part  of  the  face, 
so  that,  when  such  organ  acts,  it  influences  such  poles,  and  con- 
tracts those  facial  muscles  which  express  this  action.  That  there 
exists  an  intimate  relation  between  the  stomach  and  one  part  of  the 
face,  the  lungs  and  another,  etc.,  is  proved  by  the  fact  that  con- 
sumptive patients  always  have  a  hectic  flush  on  the  cheek,  just 
externally  from  the  lower  portion  of  the  nose,  while  inactive  lungs 
cause  paleness,  and  healthy  ones  give  the  rosy  cheek ;  and  that 
dyspeptic  patients  are  always  lank  and  thin  opposite  the  double 
teeth,  while  those  whose  digestion  is  good  are  full  between  the  cor- 
ners of  the  mouth  and  lower  portion  of  the  ears.  Since,  therefore, 
some  of  the  states  of  some  of  the  internal  organs  express  themselves 
in  the  face,  of  course  every  organ  of  the  body  must  do  the  same. 
The  magnetic  pole  of  the  heart  is  in  the  chin  ;  he-nce,  those  whose 
circulation  is  vigorous  have  broad  and  rather  prominent  chins, 
while  those  who  are  small  and  narrow-chinned  have  feeble  hearts ; 
and  thus  all  the  other  internal  organs  have  their  magnetic  poles  in 
various  parts  of  the  face.  Now,  since  the  beard  covers  these 
facial  poles  of  the  internal  organs,  of  course  it  helps  to  guard 
heart,  viscera,  etc.,  from  atmospheric  changes.  Obviously,  it  was 
not  created  for  naught,  and  cannot  be  amputated  with  impunity. 
It  also  protects  the  throat  and  chest,  especially  of  elderly  men, 
and  why  shave  off  this  natural  sign  of  masculinity  ?  Shaving  is, 
to  say  the  least  of  it,  rather  barbarous. 

So  all  the  phrenological  organs  have  likewise  their  facial  poles, 
some  of  which  are  as  follows :  That  of  Acquisitiveness  is  on  each 


PHYSIOGNOMY.  45 

side  of  the  middle  portion  of  the  nose,  at  its  junction  with  the 
cheek,  causing  breadth  of  nose  in  proportion  to  the  money-grasp- 
ing instincts,  as  in  Jews  ;  while  a  narrow  nose  indicates  a  want  of 
the  speculative  turn.  Firmness  is  indicated  by  length,  prominence, 
and  a  compression  of  the  upper  lip.  Hence,  when  we  would  ex- 
hort to  determined  perseverance,  we  say,  "  Keep  a  stiff  upper  lip." 
Self-esteem  has  its  pole  externally  from  that  of  Firmness,  and  be- 
tween the  outer  portion  of  the  nose  and  the  mouth,  causing  a  fullness, 
as  if  a  quid  were  under  the  upper  lip.  The  affections  have  their 
poles  in  the  edges  of  the  lips ;  hence  the  philosophy  of  kissing. 
The  pole  of  Mirthfulness  is  located  outward  and  upward  from  the 
outer  corners  of  the  mouth  ;  hence  the  drawing  up  of  these  cor- 
ners in  laughter.  Approbativeness  has  its  pole  directly  outward 
from  these  corners,  and  hence  the  approbative  laugh  does  not  turn 
the  corners  of  the  mouth  upward,  but  draws  them  straight  back, 
or  outwardly.  Like  locations  are  assigned  to  all  the  other  organs. 
That  physiognomy  has  its  science — that  fixed  and  absolute  rela- 
tions exist  between  the  phrenological  organs  and  given  portions 
of  the  face — is  an  unquestionable  truth.  By  these  and  other 
means,  the  inherent  character  of  every  living  being  and  thing 
gushes  out  through  every  organ  of  the  body,  every  avenue  of  the 
soul ;  and  both  brute  and  man  have  a  character-reading  faculty,  to 
take  intuitive  cognizance  of  the  mental  operations.  Nor  will  she 
let  any  one  lie,  any  more  than  lie  herself,  but  compels  all  to  carry 
their  hearts  in  their  hands,  so  that  all  acquainted  with  these  signs 
may  read  them  through.  If  we  atte'mpt  deception,  the  very  effort 
convicts  us.  And  if  all  nature's  signs  of  character  were  fully 
understood,  all  could  read,  not  only  all  the  main  characters  of  all 
they  see,  but  even  most  thoughts  and  feelings  passing  in  the 
mind  of  a  person  for  the  time  being  —  a  gift  worth  more  than 
Reese's  millions.  And  the  great  rule  for  reading  one  and  all  is, 
study  all  one  says  and  does,  ask  why,  what  did,  or  said,  this  or 
that,  and  especially  yield  yourself  up  to  drink  in  or  be  affected  by 
these  manifestations. 


46  PHYSIOGNOMY. 


COLOR  AND   TEXTURE  OF  HAIR,   SKIN,    BEARD,   ETC. 

Everything  in  nature  is  colored,  inside  and  out ;  and  the  color 
always  corresponds  with  the  character.  Nature  paints  her  coarse 
productions  in  coarse  drab,  but  adorns  all  her  finer,  more  exquisite 
productions  with  her  most  beautiful  colors.  Thus,  highly-colored 
fruits  are  always  highly-flavored ;  the  birds  of  the  highest  quality 
are  arrayed  in  the  most  gorgeous  tints  and  hues. 

So,  also,  particular  colors  signify  particular  qualities.  Thus, 
throughout  all  nature,  black  signifies  power,  or  a  great  amount  of 
character ;  red,  the  ardent,  loving,  intense,  concentrated,  positive  ; 
green,  immaturity;  yellow,  ripeness,  richness,  etc.  Hence,  all 
black  animals  are  powerful,  of  which  the  bear,  Morgan  horse,  black 
snake,  etc.,  furnish  examples.  So,  black  fruits,  as  the  blackberry, 
black  raspberry,  whortleberry,  black  Tartarian  cherry,  etc.,  are 
highly-flavored  and  full  of  rich  juices.  So,  also,  the  dark  races, 
as  Indian  and  African,  are  strong,  muscular,  and  very  tough.  All 
red  fruits  are  acid,  as  the  strawberry ;  but  the  darker  they  are  the 
sweeter,  as  the  Baldwin,  gillifleur,  etc.;  while  striped  apples  blend 
the  sweet  with  the  sour.  But  whatever  is  growing,  that  is,  still 
immature,  is  green;  but  all  grasses,  grains,  fruits,  etc.,  pass,  while 
ripening,  from  the  green  to  the  yellow,  and  sometimes  through  the 
red.  The  red  and  yellow  fruits  are  always  delicious.  Other  pri- 
mary colors  signify  other  characteristics. 

Now,  since  coarseness  and  fineness  of  texture  indicate  coarse  and 
fine-grained  feelings  and  characters,  and  since  black  signifies  power, 
and  red  ardor,  therefore  coarse  black  hair  and  skin  signify  great 
power  of  character  of  some  kind,  along  with  considerable  tendency 
to  the  sensual ;  yet  fine  black  hair  and  skin  indicate  strength  of 
character,  along  with  purity  and  goodness.  Dark-skinned  nations  are 
always  behind  the  light-skinned  in  all  the  improvements  of  the  age, 
as  well  as  in  the  higher  and  finer  manifestations  of  humanity.  So, 
too,  dark-haired  persons,  like  Webster,  sometimes  called  "  Black 
Dan,"  possess  great  power  of  intellect  and  propensity,  yet  lack  the 
finer  and  more  delicate  shadings  of  sensibility  and  purity.  Coarse 
black  hair  and  skin,  and  coarse  red  hair  and  whiskers,  indicate 


PHYSIOGNOMY.  47 

powerful  animal  passions,  together  with  corresponding  strength  of 
character ;  while  fine,  or  light,  or  auburn  hair  indicates  quick  sus- 
ceptibilities, together  with  refinement  and  good  taste.  Fine  dark 
or  brown  hair  indicates  the  combination  of  exquisite  susceptibilities 
with  great  strength  of  character,  while  auburn  hair,  with  a  florid 
countenance,  indicates  the  highest  order  of  sentiment  and  intensity 
of  feeling,  along  with  corresponding  purity  of  character,  combined 
with  the  highest  capacities  for  enjoyment  and  suffering.  And  the 
intermediate  colors  and  textures  indicate  intermediate  mentalities. 
Curly  hair,  or  beard,  indicates  a  crisp,  excitable,  and  variable  dispo- 
sition, and  much  diversity  of  character — now  blowing  hot,  now 
cold — along  with  intense  love  and  hate,  gushing,  glowing  emotions, 
brilliancy  and  variety  of  talent.  So  look  out  for  ringlets — they 
betoken  April  weather ;  treat  them  gently,  lovingly,  and  you  will 
have  the  brightest,  clearest  sunshine,  and  the  sweetest,  balmiest 
breezes;  but  ruffle  them,  and  you  raise — 0,  what  a  storm  !  a  very 
hurricane,  changeable,  now  so  very  hot,  now  so  cold — that  you  had 
better  not  ruffle  them.  And  this  is  doubly  true  of  auburn  curls  ; 
though  auburn  ringlets  need  but  a  little  right,  kind,  fond  treatment 
to  render  them  all  as  fair  and  delightful  as  the  brightest  spring 
morning. 

Straight,  even,  smooth,  and  glossy  hair  indicates  strength,  har- 
mony, and  evenness  of  character,  and  hearty,  whole-souled  affec- 
tions, as  well  as  a  clear  head  and  superior  talents  ;  while  stiff, 
straight,  black  hair  and  beard  indicate  a  coarse,  strong,  rigid, 
straightforward  character.  Abundance  of  hair  and  beard  signifies 
virility,  and  a  great  amount  of  character  ;  while  a  thin  beard  sig- 
nifies sterility,  and  a  thinly-settled  upper  story,  with  rooms  to  let ; 
so  that  the  beard  is  very  significant  of  character.  And  we  shall 
soon  see  a  reason  why  it  should  not  be  shaven. 

Coarse-haired  persons  should  never  turn  dentists  or  clerks, 
but  seek  some  out-door  employment;  and  would  be  better  con- 
tented with  rough,  hard  work  than  a  light  or  sedentary  occupation, 
although  mental  and  sprightly  occupations  would  serve  to.refine  and 
improve  them ;  while  dark  and  fine-haired  persons  may  choose 
purely  intellectual  occupations,  and  become  lecturers  or  writers  with 
fair  prospects  of  success.  Red-haired  persons  should  seek  out- 


48  PHYSIOGNOMY. 

door  employment,  for  they  require  a  great  amount  of  air  and  ex- 
ercise ;  while  those  who  have  light,  fine  hair  should  choose  occupa- 
tions involving  taste  and  mental  acumen,  yet  take  bodily  exercise 
enough  to  tone  up  and  invigorate  their  system. 

Generally,  whenever  skin,  hair,  or  features  are  fine  or  coarse, 
the  others  are  equally  so.  Yet  some  inherit  fineness  from  one 
parent  and  coarseness  from  the  other,  while  the  color  of  the  eye 
generally  corresponds  with  that  of  the  skin,  and  expresses  char- 
acter. Light  eyes  indicate  warmth  of  feeling,  and  dark  eyes, 
power. 

Lady  Apple,  Bell  de  Choisy  Cherry,  etc.,  grow  slowly,  and  have 
many  small  twigs  and  branches.  Trees  that  bear  red  fruit,  as  the 
Baldwin,  etc.,  have  red  inner  bark  ;  while  yellow  and  green-colored 
fruits  grow  on  trees  the  inner  rind  of  whose  limbs  is  yellow  or 
green.  Peach-trees  that  bear  early  peaches  have  deeply-notched 
leaves,  and  the  converse  of  late  ones ;  so  that,  by  these  and  other 
physiognomical  signs,  experienced  nurserymen  can  tell  what  a  given 
tree  bears  at  first  sight. 

Correspondingly,  long-handed  persons  have  long  fingers,  toes, 
arms,  legs,  bodies,  heads,  and  phrenological  organs ;  while  short 
and  broad-shouldered  persons  are  short  and  broad-handed,  fingered, 
faced,  nosed,  and  limbed,  and  wide  and  low-bodied.  When  the 
bones  on  the  hand  are  prominent,  all  the  bones,  nose  included,  are 
equally  so,  and  thus  of  all  other  characteristics  of  the  hand,  and 
every  other  portion  of  all  bodies.  Hence,  a  hand  thrust  through 
a  hole  proclaims  the  general  character  of  its  owner,  because  if  it  is 
large  or  small,  hard  or  soft,  strong  or  weak,  firm  or  flabby,  coarse- 
grained or  fine-textured,  even  or  prominent,  rough  or  smooth,  small- 
boned  or  large-boned,  or  whatever  else,  the  whole  body  is  built 
upon  the  same  principle,  with  which  the  brain  and  mentality  also 
correspond.  Hence,  also,  small-nosed  persons  have  little  soul,  and 
large-nosed  a  great  deal  of  character  of  some  kind. 

Bonaparte  chose  large-nosed  men  for  his  generals,  and  the  opin- 
ion prevails  that  large  noses  indicate  long  heads  and  strong  minds. 
Not  that  great  noses  cause  great  minds,  but  that  the  motive  or 
powerful  temperament  cause  both.  Flat  noses  indicate  flatness  of 
mind  and  character,  by  indicating  a  poor,  low,  organic  structure. 


PHYSIOGNOMY.  49 

Broad  noses  indicate  large  passage-ways  to  the  lungs,  and  this,  large 
lungs  and  vital  organs,  and  this,  great  strength  of  constitution  and 
hearty  animal  passions,  along  with  selfishness ;  for  broad  noses, 
broad  shoulders,  broad  heads,  and  large  animal  organs  go  together. 
But  when  the  nose  is  narrow  at  the  base  the  nostrils  are  small, 
because  the  lungs  are  small,  and  need  but  small  avenues  for 
air ;  and  this  indicates  a  predisposition  to  consumptive  complaints. 

It  seems  to  us  to  be,  at  least,  very  presumptive  to  claim  that  there 
is  no  merit  or  even  a  practical  science  in  discerning  human  char- 
acteristics from  the  expressions  of  the  face,  after  reading  the  fol- 
lowing testimonials  from  the  Word  of  God  : 

"  The  heart  of  man  changeth  his  countenance  whether  it  be  for 
good  or  for  evil ;  and  a  merry  heart  maketh  a  cheerful  counte- 
nance." Ecclesiastes,  xiii :  25,  26. 

"  A  man  may  be  known  by  his  look,  and  one  that  hath  under- 
standing by  his  countenance  when  thou  meetest  him."  Ecclesi- 
astes, xxix :  30. 

"  A  wise  man  will  hear  and  will  increase  learning."  Prov., 
i:  5. 

"  Cain  was  very  wroth  and  his  countenance  fell."     Gen.,  iv :  5. 

"  The  damsel  was  good  of  countenance,  a  virgin."  Gen., 
xxiv:  16. 

"  That  my  fury  shall  come  up  in  my  face."    Ezekiel,  xxxviii :  18. 

"  The  show  of  their  countenance  doth  witness  against  them." 
Isa.,  iii:  3. 

"  So  doth  the  angry  countenance,  a  back-biting  tongue."  Prov., 
xxv :  23. 

"  They  are  hard  of  face  and  stiff-hearted."     Ezekiel,  ii :  4. 

"  Wisdom  is  before  him  that  hath  understanding :  but  the  eyes 
of  a  fool  are  in  the  ends  of  the  earth."  Prov.,  xvii:  19. 

"  A  wicked  man  hardeneth  his  face  ;  but  as  for  the  upright  he 
directeth  his  way."  Prov.,xxi:  29.

SIGNS    OF    CHARACTER. 

7.  VERY  PERFECT. — Thou  art  seven  degrees  in  the  physiog- 
nomical signs  of  character,  and  your  character  corresponds  with

your  organization.  0  what  a  heaven-born  countenance  ;  so  ra- 
diant and  transparent  like  an  angel  of  light;  so  animated  with 
affection ;  so  gentle,  and  yet  so  chaste,  that  keen  desire  cools  off, 
and  with  saddening  admiration  gazes  upon  that  expressive  beauty, 
which  only  a  virtuous  and  lovely  woman  can  have.  Those  eyes 
bespeak  the  glories  of  thy  soul,  and  a  mind  to  comprehend  thyself 
and  nature's  grandest  laws. 

Now,  Psyche  and  Venus  may  hold  thy  garments,  while  Titania 
and  the  Naiads  prepare  thy  bath  on  the  banks  of  Pactolus,  and 
Flora  will  strew  thy  path  with  violets  and  red  roses.  Phoebus  and 
the  Muses  will  charm  thy  ear  with  sweet  and  dreamy  music,  so 
rare,  so  fine,  and  exquisite.  For  thee  may  Clotho  spin  her  fairest 
thread.  Listen,  bachelors  !  Why  ?  A  beautiful  mind  in  a  beau- 
tiful body.  Ah,  Pygmalion  would  long  for  such  a  model.

gorilla  and  the  Papuans.  See  Darwin,  or  Haeckel ;  they  can  de- 
scribe your  face  and  family.  To  cultivate  the  features  of  the  face, 
think  noble  and  honest  thoughts  when  alone.  Bathe  often,  and 
put  yourself  in  the  way  of  moral  and  religious  influences  ;  and 
cultivate  the  intellectual  faculties,  so  far  as  you  are  able. 


ANALYSIS  AND  COMBINATIONS  OF  THE 
PHRENOLOGICAL  ORGANS. 


THE    SCALE    OF   DEVELOPMENT   RUNS   FROM    ONE   TO    SEVEN. 


1.    AMATIVENESS. 

LIFE. — Sexuality  ;  gender ;  the  love  element ;  that  which  at- 
tracts the  opposite  sex,  and  is  attracted  to  it ;  admires  and  awakens 
admiration  ;  creates  and  endows  offspring ;  desires  to  love,  be  loved, 
and  marry  ;  the  conjugal  instinct  and  talent ;  gallantry  ;  ladyism  ; 
masculinity  in  man,  and  womanliness  in  woman  ;  passion.  Adapted 
to  nature's  male,  female,  sexual  blending,  affiliating,  and  creative 
ordinances. 

Everything  in  nature  is  sexed — male  or  female.  And  this  sex- 
ual institute  embodies  those  means  employed  by  the  Author  of  all 
life  for  its  inception — for  the  perpetuity  and  multiplication  of  all 
forms  of  life.  It  creates  in  each  sex  admiration  and  love  of  the 
other;  renders  woman  winning,  persuasive,  urbane,  affectionate, 
loving,  and  lovely,  and  develops  all  the  feminine  charms  and  graces  ; 
makes  man  noble  in  feeling  and  bearing ;  elevated  in  aspiration ; 
gallant,  tender,  and  bland  in  manner ;  affectionate  toward  women ; 
highly  susceptible  to  female  charms  ;  and  clothes  him  with  that  dig- 
nity, power,  and  persuasiveness  which  accompanies  the  masculine. 
Perverted,  it  occasions  grossness  and  vulgarity  in  expression  and 
action ;  licentiousness  in  all  its  forms ;  a  feverish  state  of  mind. 

7.  VERY  LARGE. — Are  admirably  sexed,  or  well  nigh  perfect  as 


52  ANALYSIS    AND    COMBINATIONS 

a  male  or  female ;  literally  idolize  the  opposite  sex  ;  love  almost  to 
insanity ;  treat  them  with  the  utmost  consideration ;  cherish  for 
them  the  most  exalted  feelings  of  regard  and  esteem,  as  if  they 
were  superior  beings ;  have  the  instincts  and  true  spirit  and  tone  of 
the  male  or  female  in  a  pre-eminent  degree ;  must  love  and  be  be- 
loved ;  love  with  an  inexpressible  tenderness ;  are  sure  to  elicit  a 
return  of  love  ;  are  intuitively  winning,  attractive  to,  and  attracted 
by  the  other  sex,  in  behavior,  in  conversation,  in  all  they  say  and 
do  ;  almost  worship  parents,  brothers,  or  sisters,  and  children  of  the 
opposite  sex. 

6.  LARGE. — Are  strongly  attracted  by  the  opposite  sex  ;  admire 
and  Jove  their  beauty  and  excellencies  ;  easily  win  their  affectionate 
regards,  or  kindle  their  love ;  have  many  warm  friends,  if  not  ad- 
mirers, among  them ;  love  young  and  most  intensely,  and  are  pow- 
erfully influenced  by  the  love  elements  for  good  or  evil,  according 
as  it  is  well  or  ill  placed  ;  with  Adhesiveness  and  Conjugality  large, 
will  mingle  pure  friendship  with  devoted  love  ;  cannot  flourish  alone, 
but  must  have  a  matrimonial  mate,  with  whom  to  become  perfectly 
identified,  and  whom  to  invest  with  almost  superhuman  perfections, 
by  magnifying  their  charms  and  overlooking  their  defects  ;  in  the 
sunshine  of  whose  love  be  perfectly  happy,  but  proportionally  mis- 
erable without  it ;  with  large  Ideality  and  the  mental  temperament 
added,  will  experience  a  fervor  and  intensity  of  love,  amounting 
almost  to  ecstacy  or  romance. 

5.  FULL. — You  are  as  described  in  6,  but  in  a  lower  degree. 

When  you  are  4,  3,  2,  or  1  degrees,  cultivate. 

How  TO  CULTIVATE. — Mingle  much  in  the  society  of  the  other 
sex ;  observe  and  appreciate  their  excellencies,  and  overlook  their 
faults ;  be  as  gallant,  as  gentlemanly  or  lady-like,  as  inviting,  as 
prepossessing,  as  lively  and  entertaining  in  their  society  as  you  know 
how  to  be,  and  always  on  the  alert  to  please  them;  say  as  many 
complimentary  and  pretty  things,  and  as  few  disagreeable  things, 
as  possible ;  that  is,  feel  just  as  courteous,  loving,  and  lovely  as 
possible ;  luxuriate  in  the  company  and  conversation  of  those  well 
sexed,  and  imbibe  their  inspiriting  influence  ;  be  less  fastidious,  and 
more  free  and  communicative ;  establish  a  warm,  cordial  intimacy 
and  friendship  for  them,  and  feast  yourself  on  their  masculine  or

feminine  excellencies ;  if  not  married,  marry,  and  cultivate  the  feel- 
ings, as  well  as  live  the  life  of  a  right  and  a  hearty  sexuality. 

How  TO  RESTRAIN. — Bathe  daily,  eat  sparingly,  study,  and  com- 
mune with  nature. 

A.— CONJUGALITY. 

Fidelity  •  or  Monogamy ;  Union  for  Life  ;  First  love  ;  the 
pairing  instinct ;  attachment  to  one  conjugal  partner ;  duality 
and  exclusiveness  of  love.  Perverted  action — a  broken  heart ; 
jealousy  ;  envy  toward  love  rivals.  Located  between  Amativeness 
and  Adhesiveness,  and  adapted  to  parents  living  with  and  educating 
all  their  own  children  in  the  same  family.  Some  birds,  such  as 
doves,  eagles,  geese,  robins,  etc.,  pair,  and  remain  true  to  their 
connubial  attachment ;  while  hens,  dogs,  turkeys,  sheep,  horses,  and 
cattle  associate  promiscuously,  which  shows  this  to  be  a  faculty 
distinct  from  Amativeness  and  Adhesiveness. 

"  Two  souls  with  but  a  single  thought, 
Two  hearts  that  beat  as  one." 

VERY  LARGE. — You  are  7  in  this  grand  love  force,  and  would 
long  for  this  sentiment  : 

' '  I  have  another  life  I  long  to  meet 

Without  which  life  my  life  is  incomplete. 
Oh !  sweeter  self,  like  me  art  thou  astray, 
Trying  with  all  thy  heart  to  find  the  way 
To  mine — straying  like  mine  to  find  the  breast 
On  which  alone  can  weary  heart  find  rest." 

LARGE. — You  love  one,  and  one  only ;  true  and  loyal. 

FULL. — You  are  happily  developed,  pure  and  good. 

AVERAGE. — You  would  not  grieve  if  your  love  was  cremated. 

MODERATE. — You  believe  there  is  as  good  fish  in  the  sea  as  ever 
was  caught. 

SMALL  OR  VERY  SMALL. — It  is  hard  for  you  to  be  constant  to 
one.  Cultivate. 


54  ANALYSIS   AND   COMBINATIONS 


2 .  —  PHILOPROGENITTVENESS . 

Love  of  parents,  children  and  pets,  horses  and  dogs.  To  true 
womanhood,  it  gives  the  force  to  supply  lacteal  and  vital  nourish- 
ment. To  manhood,  the  force  to  retain  and  husband  the  product- 
ive energies  of  his  system.  Perverted,  it  spoils  children  by 
excessive  indulgence,  pampering  and  humoring,  nursing  poodle- 
dogs,  etc. 

7.  VERY  LARGE. — You  are  in  7  in  this  force  ;  this  convolution  of

steady  hand ;  with  Cautiousness  large,  suffer  extreme  anxiety  if 
they  are  sick  or  in  danger;  with  large  moral  and  intellectual

large,  value  their  moral  character  as  of  the  utmost  importance  ; 
with  Veneration  and  Conscientiousness  large,  are  particularly  in-

Combativeness,  and  Destructiveness,  and  only  average  Firmness,

one  minute,  but  punish  them  the  next ;  with  larger  Approbative- 
ness and  Ideality  than  intellect,  will  educate  them  more  for  show 
than  usefulness — more  fashionably  than  substantially — and  dress 
them  off  in  the  extreme  of  fashion  :  with  a  large  and  active  brain, 
large  moral  and  intellectual  faculties,  and  Firmness,  and  only  full 
Combativeness,  Destructiveness,  and  Self-Esteem,  are  well  cal- 
culated to  teach  and  manage  the  young.  It  renders  farmers  fond 
of  stock,  dogs,  etc.,  and  women  fond  of  birds,  lap-dogs,  etc. ;  girls 
fond  of  dolls,  and  boys  of  being  among  horses  and  cattle  ;  and 
creates  a  general  interest  in  young  and  small  animals. 

5.  You  are  described  in  6,  only  in  a  lower  degree. 

4,  3,  2,  and  1. — Must  cultivate.    "  Suffer  little  children  to  come

be  as  companionable  and  familiar  as  you  well  can ;  nor  refuse  to 
affiliate  with  those  not  exactly  to  your  liking,  but  like  what  you  can, 
and  overlook  faults.

too  sensitive  to  reproof ;  that  your  feelings  are  often  hurt  when 


OF  THE  PHRENOLOGICAL  ORGANS.  61 

there  is  no  occasion ;  that  you  often  feel  neglected  or  reproved 
without  cause ;  that  evil-speaking  breaks  no  bones,  and  will  ulti- 
mately thwart  itself;  and  leave  such  paper  rubbish  alone  as  the 
"  Blackmail  Letter  "  and  "  Jolly  Liar  " — articles  written  by  such 
skunks  would  only  annoy  you.

born. 

Cultivate  4,  3,  2,  and  1  degrees,  if  you  are  so  low. 

How  TO  CULTIVATE. — Have  more  mind  of  your  own ;  make  up

form. Adapted  to  the  rightriess  of  right  and  the  wrongness  of 
wrong,  and  to  the  moral  nature  and  constitution  of  things.  Per-

exceedingly  sorry  therefor  ;  and,  with  a  wrong  education  added,

warp  conscience,  yet  mean  well  ;  with  large  Cautiousness,  are

keep  the  moral  character  pure  and  spotless,  value  others  on  their 
morals  more  than  wealth,  birth,  etc.,  and  make  the  word  the  bond  ;

great  indignation  and  severity  against  oppressors,  and  those  who 
cause  others  to  suffer  by  wronging  them  ;  with  large  Ideality, 
have  strong  aspirations  after  moral  purity  and  excellence  ;  with

being  a  thorough-going  reformer.  You  have  indeed  the  sign 
Libra  in  your  horoscope. 

5.  Fail  to  allow  right  its  due  weight  ;  and  should  never  allow 
conscience  to  be  in  any  way  weakened,  but  cultivate  it  assiduously. 

4,  3,  2,  and  1.  You  must  cultivate. 

How  TO  CULTIVATE.  —  Always  ask  yourself  what  is  right  and 
wrong,  and  adhere  closely  to  the  former,  and  studiously  avoid  the 
latter  ;  make  everything  a  matter  of  principle  ;  do  just  as  nearly 
right  as  you  know  how  in  everything,  and  never  allow  conscience 
to  be  borne  down  by  any  of  the  other  faculties,  but  keep  it 
supreme  ;  maintain  the  right  everywhere  and  for  everybody  ;  culti- 
vate a  high  sense  of  duty  and  obligation,  and  try  to  reform  every 
error  ;  in  short,  ^  let  justice  be  done,  though  the  heavens  fall."

SAVIOUR.  —  Future  happiness,  dream-land,  flowery  castles  in  the 
air,  in  the  sweet  by-and-by,  the  light  of  the  soul.  Perverted  with

pects. 

If  you  are  only  5,  4,  3,  2,  or  1  degrees,  cultivate. 

How  TO  CULTIVATE. — Remember  this  faculty  is  not  a  false  or- 
gan, but  every  independent  thought  that  you  have  been  inspired 
with,  you  will  yet  realize  it  according  to  natural  law  ;  therefore,  look 
altogether  on  the  bright  side,  the  dark  none  ;  calculate  all  the 
chances  for,  none  against  you  ;  mingle  in  young  and  lively  society  ; 
banish  care,  and  cultivate  juvenility ;  cheer  up  ;  venture  more  in 
business ;  cultivate  trust  in  the  future,  and  "  look  aloft !  " 


We  all  have  a  fair  little  world  of  our  own— 
A  sacred  retreat  that  we  dwell  in  alone  ; 
Not  the  dearest  of  friends  or  the  nearest  of  kin 
Are  ever  invited  to  enter  therein. 

If  fate  treats  us  harshly,  or  Fortune  's  unkind, 
If  clouds  of  despondency  darken  the  mind, 
Or  cares  vex  the  spirit,  we  turn  for  a  time 
To  the  soothing  delight  of  this  ideal  clime. 

The  child  growing  tired  of  playmates  and  toys, 
The  youth  feeling  sated  with  pleasure's  wild  joys, 
The  world-weary  man,  sick  of  turmoil  and  strife — 
All  find  in  this  realm  new  hope  and  new  life. 

No  "bleak  winds  of  winter  invade  this  retreat ; 
No  frost  chills  its  flowers,  ever  fadeless  and  sweet ; 
For  its  skies  bend  in  shadowless  beauty  above, 
And  its  airs  are  as  soft  as  the  whispers  of  love. 

No  wild  disappointment,  no  sin  and  no  care, 
Ever  come  to  us  here,  bringing  tears  and  despair  ; 
But  ambitions  most  lofty  and  wishes  most  dear 
Seem  always  attained  in  this  magical  sphere. 

Oh,  beautiful  dreamland,  sweet  realm  of  the  soul, 
Lying  safe  and  secure  beyond  sorrow's  control ! 
Art  thou  foretaste  and  type  of  that  shadowless  shore 
We  all  hope  to  reach  when  life's  sad  voyage  is  o'er?

known  and  the  unknown,  which  escape  common  investigators,  and 
with  Individuality,  Eventuality,  and  Causality  well  developed,  will 
manifest  great  capacity  for  making  discoveries  and  a  passion  for 
analytical  investigations  most  useful  to  the  phrenologist.

84  THE   PHRENOLOGICAL   ORGANS. 

4,  3,  2,  and  1  degrees. — Need  to  cultivate. 

To  CULTIVATE — Scan  closely  all  the  actions  of  men,  with  a 
view  to  ascertain  their  motives  and  mainsprings  of  action ;  look 
with  a  sharp  eye  at  man,  woman,  child — all  you  meet — as  if  you 
would  read  them  through  ;  note  particularly  the  expression  of  the 
eye,  as  if  you  would  imbibe  what  it  signifies ;  say  to  yourself, 
Wha"t  faculty  prompted  this  expression  or  that  action  ?  Drink  in  the 
general  looks,  attitude,  natural  language,  and  manifestation  of  the 
man,  and  yield  yourself  to  the  impressions  naturally  made  on  you 
— that  is,  study  human  nature  both  as  a  philosophy  and  as  a  senti- 
ment, or  as  if  being  impressed  thereby ;  especially  study  phrenol- 
ogy, for  no  study  of  human  nature  at  all  compares  with  it,  and  be 
more  suspicious.

practice  politeness  as  both  an  art  and  a  science  ;  compliment  what 
in  others  you  can  find  worthy,  and  render  yourself  just  as  accept- 
able as  you  can. 


THE  MATRIMONIAL  ADAPTATION 


AND 


DEVELOPMENTS  FOE  PARTICULAR  PURSUITS, 


Lawyers  require  the  mental-vital  temperament,  to  give  them  in- 
tensity of  feeling  and  clearness  of  intellect ;  large  Eventuality,  to 
recall  law  cases  and  decisions  ;  large  Comparison,  to  compare  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  law  and  evidence,  to  criticise,  cross-question, 
illustrate,  and  adduce  similar  cases  ;  and  large  Language,  to  give 
freedom  of  speech.  Phrenology  will  tell  you  how  to  acquire  and 
use  these  powers  and  faculties.  Try  it. 

Statesmen  require  large  and  well-balanced  intellects,  to  enable 
them  to  understand  and  see  through  great  public  measures  and 
choose  the  best  course,  together  with  high  moral  heads,  to  make 
them  disinterested,  and  seek  the  people's  good,  not  selfish  ends. 

Physicians  require  large  perceptive  faculties,  so  that  they  may 
study  and  apply  a  knowledge  of  anatomy  and  physiology  with 
skill  and  success ;  full  Destructiveness,  lest  they  shrink  from  in- 
flicting the  pain  requisite  to  cure  ;  large  Constructiveness,  to  give 
them  skill  in  surgery ;  large  Combativeness,  to  render  them  reso- 
lute and  prompt ;  large  Cautiousness,  to  render  them  judicious  and 
safe  ;  and  a  large  head,  to  give  them  general  power  of  mind. 
Phrenology  will  predict,  in  advance,  whether  or  not  a  boy  will  suc- 
ceed in  this  profession.  The  same  is  true  of  dentistry. 

A  clergyman  requires  the  mental  temperament  to  give  him  a 
decided  predominance  of  mind  over  his  animal  propensities  ;  a 
large  frontal  and  coronal  region — the  former  to  give  him  intellect- 


86  THE    MATRIMONIAL    ADAPTATION    AND 

ual  capacity,  and  the  latter  to  impart  high  moral  worth,  aims,  and 
feelings,  elevation  of  character,  and  blamelessness  of  conduct ; 
large  Veneration,  Hope,  and  Spirituality,  to  imbue  him  with  the 
spirit  of  faith  and  devotion  ;  large  Benevolence  and  Adhesiveness, 
so  that  he  may  make  all  who  know  him  love  him,  and  thus  win 
them  over  to  the  paths  of  truth  and  righteousness.  Clergymen 
will  do  well  to  consult  phrenology  ;  it  would  enable  them  to  ac- 
count for  many  seeming  mysteries,  and  give  them  power  and  influ- 
ence to  do  great  good.  It  is  in  harmony  with  the  highest  Chris- 
tianity. 

Editors  also  require  a  mental  temperament,  with  large  Individu- 
ality and  Eventuality,  to  collect  and  disseminate  incidents,  facts, 
news,  and  give  a  practical  cast  of  mind  ;  large  Comparison,  to  en- 
able them  to  illustrate,  criticise,  show  up  errors,  and  the  like  ;  full 
or  large  Combative  ness,  to  render  them  spirited  ;  large  Language, 
to  render  them  copious,  free,  spicy,  and  racy  ;  and  large  Ideality, 
to  give  taste  and  elevated  sentiments.  An  editor  who  understands 
and  applies  phrenology  possesses  a 'power  which  he  may  use  with 
great  effect.  "  We  can  take  your  measure." 

Merchants  require  Acquisitiveness,  to  impart  a  desire  and  tact 
for  business;  large  Hope,  to  promote  enterprise  ;  full  Cautiousness, 
to  render  them  safe ;  large  perceptives,  to  give  quick  and  cor- 
rect judgment  of  the  qualities  of  goods ;  good  Calculation,  to  im- 
part rapidity  and  correctness  in  casting  accounts  ;  large  Approba- 
tiveness,  to  render  them  courteous  and  affable  ;  and  full  Adhe- 
siveness, to  enable  them  to  make  friends  of  customers,  and  thus 
retain  them.  Why  is  one  young  man  a  better  salesman  than  an- 
other ?  and  why  is  one  better  worth  a  salary  twice  or  thrice  the 
amount  of  that  of  another  ?  Phrenology  answers  this  by  pointing 
out  the  constitutional  differences,  and  showing  who  is  and  who  is 
not  adapted  to  mercantile  life.  You  had  better  consult  it. 

Mechanics  require  strong  constitutions,  to  give  them  muscular 
power  and  love  of  labor  ;  large  Constructiveness  and  Imitation,  to 
enable  them  to  use  tools  with  dexterity,  work  after  a  pattern,  and 
easily  learn  to  do  what  they  may  see  others  do,  and  large  perceptive 
faculties,  to  give  the  required  judgment  of  matter  and  the  fitness 
of  things. 


DEVELOPMENTS   FOR   PARTICULAR   PURSUITS.  87 

The  love  tastes  of  men  and  women  differ  even  more  than  their 
other  tastes.  "What  is  one's  meat  is  another's  poison."  One 
man  likes,  another  dislikes,  the  same  qualities  in  the  same  woman, 
and  thus  of  women.  This  natural  law  governs  these  tastes  :  those 
in  either  extreme  in  any  respect  love  those  best  who  are  in  an  op- 
posite extreme,  while  those  who  are  medium  in  any  quality  affiliate 
best  with  those  who  are  near  themselves.  Thus,  very  large  men 
love  small  women,  and  small  men  large  women,  while  average  men 
like  average  women  best,  yet  can  affiliate  with  either  large, 
medium,  or  small ;  and  so  of  women.  Bright-red  hair  prefers  jet- 
black,  while  medium  can  love  medium  or  black  or  red,  and  thus  of 
curls.  Tall  persons  should  marry  short  and  slim,  stocky  ;  while 
those  medium  in  height  may  marry  either,  or  medium.  Those  hav- 
ing prominent  noses  and  retiring  chins  and  foreheads  should  select 
straight  profiles,  square  faces,  and  high  and  wide  foreheads  and 
large  noses,  medium  or  small,  Roman,  pug,  etc. 

The  impulsive  love  the  calm,  yet  those  who  are  neither  may 
select  either ;  and  this  principle  applies  to  all  the  phrenological  fac- 
ulties. 

JOHN  M.  MATTHEWS,  M.D., 

Phrenologist  and  Psychologist. 


Phrenology  and  its  Uses, 


It  cannot  be  too  soon  understood  that  science  is  one,  and  that 
whether  we  investigate  philosophy,  theology,  history,  or  physics,  we 
are  dealing  with  the  same  problem,  culminating  in  the  knowledge 
of  ourselves.  Speech  is  known  only  in  connection  with  the  organs 
of  man,  thought  in  connection  with  his  brain,  religion  as  the  ex- 
pression of  his  aspirations,  history  as  the  record  of  his  deeds,  and 
physical  science  as  the  laws  under  which  he  lives.  Philosophers 
and  theologians  have  yet  to  learn  that  a  physical  fact  is  as  sacred 
as  a  moral  principle.  Our  own  nature  demands  from  us  this  double 
allegiance. — Agassiz. 

PHRENOLOGY  is  the  most  useful  of  all  modern  discoveries  ;  for 
while  others  enhance  creature  comforts  mainly,  this  science  teaches 
LIFE  and  its  LAWS,  and  unfolds  human  nature  in  all  its  aspects. 
It.s  fundamental  doctrine  is,  that  each  mental  faculty  is  exercised  by 
means  of  a  portion  of  the  brain,  called  its  organ,  the  size  and 
quality  of  which  determine  its  power. 

PHRENOLOGY  shows  how  the  bodily  conditions  influence  mind  and 
morals.  It  teaches  the  true  system  of  education ;  shows  how  to 
classify  pupils,  to  develop  and  discipline  each  faculty  separately , 
and  all  collectively.  Indeed,  to  phrenology  and  physiology  mainly 
is  the  world  indebted  for  its  modern  educational  improvements,  and 
most  of  its  leaders  in  this  department  are  phrenologists. 

PHRENOLOGY  teaches  parents  for  what  occupation  in  life  their 
children  are  best  adapted,  and  in  which  they  can  and  cannot  be 
successful  and  happy.  It  also  teaches  parents  the  exact  character- 
istics of  children,  and  thereby  how  to  manage  and  govern  them 
properly  ;  to  what  motives  or  faculties  to  appeal,  and  what  to  avoid  ; 
what  desires  to  restrain,  and  what  to  call  into  action. 


PHRENOLOGY  AND   ITS   USES.  89 

PHRENOLOGY  AND  PHYSIOGNOMY  teach  us  our  fellow-men ;  tell 
us  whom  to  trust  and  mistrust;  whom  to  select  and  reject  for 
specific  places  and  stations  ;  enable  mechanics  to  choose  appren- 
tices who  have  a  knack  or  talent  for  particular  trades  ;  show  us  who 
will  and  will  not  make  warm  and  perpetual  friends,  and  who  are 
and  are  not  adapted  to  become  partners  in  business  ;  and  also 
decide,  beforehand,  who  can,  and  who  cannot,  live  together  affec- 
tionately and  happily  in  wedlock,  and  on  what  points  differences 
will  be  most  likely  to  arise. 

Most  of  all,  phrenology  and  physiology  teach  us  OUR  OWN 
SELVES  ;  our  faults,  and  how  to  obviate  them ;  our  excellencies,  and 
how  to  make  the  most  of  them  ;  our  proclivities  to  virtue  and  vice, 
and  how  to  nurture  the  former  and  avoid  provocation  to  the  latter.

TESTIMONIALS. 

If  the  opinions  of  eminent  professional  men,  both  in  Europe 
and  America,  in  regard  to  the  truth  and  utility  of  phrenology,  be 
of  any  account,  the  following  testimonials  should  have  some  weight 
with  unbiased  readers. 

While  unacquainted  with  it,  I  scoffed  at  the  new  philosophy  of  the 
mind,  by  Dr.  Gall,  known  as  phrenology,  but  have  became  a  zeal- 
ous student  of  what  I  now  conceive  to  be  the  truth,  and  have  lived 
to  see  the  true  philosophy  of  the  mind  establishing  itself  wherever 
talent  is  found  capable  of  estimating  its  immense  value. — Sir  G.  S. 
Mackenzie,  Pres't  Royal  Soc.,  Edinburgh. 

For  ten  years,  I  have  taught  phrenology  publicly,  in  connection 
with  anatomy  and  physiology.  It  is  a  science  founded  on  truth, 
and  capable  of  being  applied  to  many  practical  and  useful  pur- 
poses.— Robert  Hunter,  M.D.,  Professor  of  Anatomy,  University, 
Glasgow. 

I  have  great  pleasure  in  stating  my  firm  belief  in  the  truth  and 
great  practical  utility  of  phrenology.  This  belief  is  the  result  of 
the  most  thorough  investigation. — James  Shannon,  President  of 
Bacon  College,  Ky.,  Prof.  Mental  and  Moral  Science. 


90  PHRENOLOGY  AND   ITS   USES. 

I  not  only  consider  phrenology  the  true  science  of  mind,  but  also 
as  the  only  one  that  may  be  applied  to  the  education  of  children 
and  to  the  treatment  of  the  insane  and  criminals. — C.  Otto,  M.D., 
Professor  of  Medicine  in  the  University  of  Copenhagen. 

Until  I  became  acquainted  with  phrenology,  I  had  no  solid 
foundation  upon  which  I  could  base  my  treatment  for  the  cure  of 
insanity. — Sir  William  Elles,  Physician  to  Lunatic  Asylum,  Mid- 
dlesex, England. 

All  moral  and  religious  objections  against  the  doctrines  of  phren- 
ology are  utterly  futile. — Archbishop  Whately. 

I  have  long  been  acquainted  with  the  science  of  phrenology, 
and  feel  no  hesitation  in  declaring  my  conviction  of  its  truth.  It 
surpasses  all  former  systems  in  practical  utility,  being  that  alone 
which  is  adequate  to  explain  the  phenomena  of  mind. — Rich.  D. 
Evanson,  M.D.,  Prof.  Physiology,  R.  C.  8.,  Dublin. 

Phrenology  undertakes  to  accomplish  for  man  what  philosophy 
performs  for  the  external  world — it  claims  to  disclose  the  real  state 
of  things,  and  to  present  nature  unveiled  and  in  her  true  features. — 
Prof.  Benj.  Silliman. 

Phrenology  is  true.  The  mental  faculties  of  men  may  be  appre- 
ciated by  an  examination  of  their  heads. — : Joseph  Vimont,  M.D., 
of  Paris,  physician  and  author. 

I  declare  myself  a  hundred  times  more  indebted  to  phrenology 
than  to  all  the  metaphysical  works  I  ever  read.  *  *  *  I  look  upon 
phrenology  as  the  guide  to  philosophy  and  the  handmaid  of  Chris- 
tianity. Whoever  disseminates  true  phrenology  is  a  public  bene- 
factor.— Horace  Mann. 

Phrenology  appears  to  be  true.  It  assigns  a  natural  bias  to  the 
mind.  By  this  science,  the  faculties  of  the  mind  have  been,  for 
the  first  time,  traced  to  their  elementary  forms. — Robert  Cham- 
bers, of  "  Chambers'  Journal." 

Phrenology  has  added  a  new  and  verdant  field  to  the  domain  of 
human  intellect. — Rev.  Thos.  Chalmers,  D.D. 

To  a  phrenologist  the  Bible  seems  to  open  up  its  broadest  and 
highest  beauties. — Rev.  P.  W.  Drew. 

Phrenology  is  the  true  science  of  mind.  Every  other  system  is 
defective  in  enumerating,  classifying,  and  tracing  the  relations  of 
the  faculties.— Prof.  R.  H.  Hunter. 


PHRENOLOGY   AND    ITS    USES.  91 

If  we  would  know  the  truth  of  ourselves,  we  must  interrogate 
phrenology  and  follow  out  her  teachings,  as  we  would  a  course  of 
religious  training,  after  we  had  once  become  satisfied  of  its  truth. 
*  *  *  The  result  of  all  my  experience  for  something  over  two- 
score  years  is  this :  that  phrenology  is  a  revelation  put  by  God 
himself  within  the  reach  of  all  his  intelligent  creation,  to  be  stud- 
ied and  applied  in  all  the  relations  and  in  all  the  business  of  life. 
— Hon.  John  Neal. 

All  my  life  long  I  have  been  in  the  habit  of  using  phrenology  as 
that  which  solves  the  practical  phenomena  of  life.  I  regard  it  as 
far  more  useful,  practical,  and  sensible  than  any  other  system  of 
mental  philosophy  which  has  yet  been  evolved.  Certainly,  phren- 
ology has  introduced  mental  philosophy  to  the  common  people, 
— Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher. 

We  may  also  mention  the  names  of  the  following  prominent  men 
who  have  accepted  phrenology  as  a  true  science,  and,  in  various 
ways,  have  given  it  the  support  of  their  influence — thousands  more 
could  be  added :  Dr.  John  W.  Francis  ;  Dr.  J.  V.  C.  Smith  ; 
Dr.  McClintock  ;  Dr.  John  Bell ;  Prof.  C.  Caldwell ;  Prof.  S.  G. 
Morton ;  Prof.  S.  G.  Howe ;  Prof.  Geo.  Bush  ;  Judge  E.  P. 
Hurlbut ;  Hon.  Wm.  H.  Seward ;  Hon.  Horace  Greeley ;  Wm. 
C.  Bryant ;  Hon.  Amos  Deane ;  Rev.  Orville  Dewey  ;  Rev.  John 
Pierpont;  Hon.  S.  S.  Randall. 

Phrenology  being  true,  it  should  be  learned,  and  cordially  em- 
braced by  all,  and  its  benefits  appreciated.  It  comes  to  mankind, 
not  as  a  partisan  or  sectarian  proposition,  but  as  the  voice  of  God, 
revealed  in  nature  to  aid  and  guide  mankind. — Office  "  Phrenolog- 
ical Journal,"  737  Broadway,  New  York.
